Ref wrote Every 100 reputation points, you go up 1 reputation power.
Or, every 25 posts you go up 1 reputation power.
You can give up to 25 points if you're not gold.
If you are gold, you can give up to 50 points.
But, you can only give as much as you have.

couldn't of explained it better myself brother.

I wasn't talking about giving it away to anyone .....oh well I can only give 3 points.... I guess 3 is better than none lol

Palm-Trees wrote does it take away from my rep when I give it away cause I still have the same amount

When I joined the site if you gave rep it would come out of your rep power.
Now its alot more convenient for both users.

Palm-Trees wrote when giving rep to someone why does it say either 1, 2, or 3? is it because I don't have a lot?

Yes! You can give someone as many reputation as you have reputation power up to 25, unless you're a gold member then you can give a bit more (if you have the reputation power. of course)!!

You can only give the amount you have. The max is 50 so if you have 100 you can only give 50

Lol didn't realize that, either way thanks man!

You can only give as much rep as you have rep power.

100 reputation points = 1 rep power
25 posts = 1 rep power

Regular users can give up to 25 reputation points, gold members can give up to 50 , moderators can give up to 100, and administrators can give up to 1000.
