Everyone has way less than before, except for newbies, who appear to have the same. I remember Ancient Dragon starting a thread requesting a way that he could possibly neg rep someone without placing them in an eternal red zone. Makes sense. Everyone deserves to make a mistake and learn from it without damning them to the Scarlett Red rep forever. Someone on that thread, can't remember who, suggested giving the person the ability of giving negative points UP TO their full rep power (i.e. Ancient Dragon could give -1, -2, -3 points, ..., up to -30 or whatever). I kind of like that idea. Some posts (i.e. racist posts, cross posting for the twelfth time, no code tags for the 25th time, etc.) deserve a real blast and some deserve a fairly minor rebuke.
Anyway, just wondering why the rep power got adjusted for everyone all of a sudden. If it's because people who had a lot of it wanted the ability to rebuke someone without destroying them, that suggestion would solve that.

Yeah i must say i agree with Vernon. I think it would be great if we were able to change the amount of rep we gave.
To make it easy, you could have a default value that automatically went on to save time if needed. But if you wanted you could change.

A preview of what I've mentioned several times.

Wait! I only have +1/-1 with 419Reps, but someone with: 46Reps can have +2/-1, and 105Reps gets you +7/-3???
How does this all work now, or is this over the being an ass to DW?

It has to do with post count / solved threads / time as a member too.
e.g I got 570 rep, +21/-10
vernon-dozier has like 1/4 of my post count and has only been here like a year or two - even although he has four times my [1996] rep (and we have about the same solved threads) , he only gets +8/-4).

So s/he gets +1 for being here five more months than me, and that's all? Or is it for the solved:post ration; if so, then I lose power for posting in the lounges or if the OP doesn't mark it as solved? What about lurking, do I lose more for that too?
The one with 105Rep only has it for being here for over two years than, as well?
This needs clarification.

Rep power is a combination of how long you've been here, how many posts you have, and how much rep you have.

Soo, dani. Any chance of having that system they have at Dev Shed Forums?
