How exactly does the rep system work

[Mars_ax]

I'm new here and was just wondering

I'm kind of new here too Kevin, but maybe one of the old timers or a mod can explain it to you better than I can. From the little bit that I do know, at the bottom left of the typing screen there's an option for reporting a post, and next to it, an option to add a rep comment. You can give and receive rep comments and if i'm not mistaken if you receive one, it adds to your power punches.

I'm sending you a rep comment for posting this thread.

I hope that helps,
cheers
P.S. just ignore GOAT, he seems to have maturity issues.
