I can give you rep points for a funny comment, or if I agree with what you are saying. on the left side of the screen at the bottom of a comment box there are three icons. the middle one is to give positive rep or negative rep. It really means nothing, but you usually get rep for being funny or making a good point or post. some people take it seriously. I am not one. I like ot see m rep go up, but it is a vanity thing, not something I live or die by, Your rep "score" is under your post count. when you get to 100 post,s you canstart getting rep
