What happend???

You start out with very few points so it does not take a lot to drop one level. I can not justify raising John back up just because I can. I can add or subtract as many points as I want as an admin but a registered user can only add or subtract the limit of your reputation power. Members have the right to use the rep system and you may not always agree with there decision.

Now if someone were abusing the rep system and yes I can see who left per points then I will step in and fix the problem and the trouble maker wont like it.

Rep point can be given or taken away for multiple reasons. You could get + points for helping another member and them thanking you or get - point for post whoring such as not using multi quote and replying to multiple replies individually. You could even get - points for using unsuitable language in a post.

I look at the rep points as how useful members find your post to the forum and others will have different opinions it is just all in how you look at it.
