    I've modified the reputation settings AND added an FAQ entry about them. Check it out:

    Excellent!

    You might consider changing the following though:

    Register Date Factor: for every 60 days, user gains one point of rep factor
    Post Count Factor: for every 50 posts, user gains one point of rep factor
    Rep Point Factor: for every 50 points of rep, user gains one point of rep factor

    Change to 1 year. Anything shorter rep is going to be huge very quickly.
    1000 posts. Makes things easier to calculate and keeps the rep a bit more under control especially considering those of us who post like crazy.
    100 point of rep. Makes things easier to calculate and keeps the rep from exploding and not really being worth much.

    This is based on the years of using rep at the Hero Games site.
    Here are my rep stats for Hero Games:
    129807 rep points
    Rep power: 1305

    That is actually about 3 years worth. When I rep someone I increase their rep power by 13 based on these numbers.

    So how can you tell your rep points and power? Somewhere in the User CP?

    And is there a way to see the comments people have left?

    You should be able to see your reputation and rep comments left to you (last 5 comments only) in the userCP...at least I can...if you can't then I must not have made the change properly for regular users.

    Is there a setting to show rep you have given others? Date, who, and comment would be nice just like how your own shows if possible. Also, if possible, it would be nice to see the last 20 or so you have repped to help knowing when you need to spread some around.

    There isn't a setting such as that and the system will warn you if you try to give someone rep that you haven't recently repped or if you need to spread some around.

    The REP FAQ link does not work.

    To see Your rep, Look up top and clicky on the " Settings " in the top right under your name. For me it says "Latest Reputation Received (22 point(s) total)" and that both Lukc and Jaxilon gave me rep and how much.
