Explain Reputation please...
 

Hi!

The help text and manual are very scarce indeed about how Reputation works... I am trying trial and error to try to figure out what it does. Right now I have these questions:
1. When a user gives positive reputation, how much power is given? It seems from my testing now, that it is the giver's total reputation? If I click once on a user with 500 in power, and I have 1700 in power, he suddenly jumps to 2300 in power. How can I moderate that? I don't want him to click on someone with 5 in power and suddenly he gets 505 either. I prefer one click=10 in power, say. Isn't that possible?
2. How are the levels and the icon display connected? I have 5 positive levels defined. Yet I get users with 11 green squares. I don't even have 11 levels, including the negative levels it's just 9. I assumed that for positive level 1 it would be one square, level 2, 2 squares, etc. Is that not possible to link the icons to the levels? How many are there going to be? And how does it calculate how many to show??
