(They start with 1. 1+1=2.)


Oh, and I tested it by giving you 1 Reputation.

Be happy. ^_^

Edit: Ace is exempt from Reputation.
The number of reputation points that you pass on to other members is determined by your rep level, which is now displayed near your post count on every post you make. If your rep level is 6, for example, then you can add or take away 6 rep points when you click on the scales.

The idea is to add or subtract from someone's reputation based on the quality of their posts, rather than popularity (hopefully).

Admins can optionally turn off the popularity system for themselves. I just turned mine on, so I'm no longer exempt.
