I see here MVPs having a post count of ~83 and Rep Power of nearly 5k - how can that be when everyone else gets some 2 point for 1 posting?
any logic behind this?

Mike said:We have noticed some people have been undeniably exploiting the reputation system, and because of that (noones reputation has been taken away), the reputation power formula has been changed. Thanks to some info from Captain Jack, you would have to work very hard to gain boosted rep. Let us take for example, this [username removed] fellow. He's on the site for 30 days and has a reputation level that is almost the same as Ross, who has been on the site for like 5 years... this will not happen anymore. Since the system is supposed to reflect an honest reputation and not a gigantic one, the formula has been recalc'd.
Mike said:Some members had achieved so much reputation, because the rep power calculation was too high, they were able to literally, max out somones reputation bars in one rep up. When I say recalc'd I mean your reputation power is about 10x less than what it used to be, there is a larger spread, so you can't just give rep to 4 people then give it to the same guy/gal again, and you will never know what your rep power actually is: only your reputation
Also you can only give reputation to 1 person in a given 24 hour period.
