This is going to be rather involved, so bear with me.
First, where is it? How do I see what Reputation I have and who all gave it?
Click on settings in the upper right corner of the page (next to log out), and scroll all the way to the bottom, you should be able to see the list there. (Thanks goes to Gardenia for posting this!)
This list, or history of clicks on your Rep, only goes back so far. 15 clicks, I believe. It's not a complete history, so you may want to check it now and again. If you're interested, that is.

How does one get their reputation?
Reputation is gained or taken away (sort of like our old Wyrd system: + or -) by readers leaving clicks, one way or the other, for one's post. At the bottom of each post is a small asterisk or star - (looks like the Star of David, if you ask me) that, when you click on it, a pop-up window gives you the option of Approve or Disapprove and room to leave a comment.
Easy enough?
You can see where one is at (assuming they haven't hidden it LOL) by the little indicator below their avatar, right below the username, in each post. Just hover your cursor over the tiny square(s) to see the Reputation Level (as shown above, with how much rep it takes for each level.)
Now the fun part:
How much does one's reputation change, with each click?
That depends on who is doing the clicking. There's a thing called Reputation Power, that is the amount by which others reputation(s) will be changed. For example; I have a Rep Power of 10. When I click on someone's reputation, I change their reputation amount by 10 points.
Everyone has a Reputation Power as well as a Reputation Level.
Brand new users will start out with a Rep Level of 0 (zero). The only way to change it is by others approving or disapproving and clicking on the Reputation.
Reputation power, on the other hand, changes, as time goes by, as people get to know you, as you post and even as your reputation grows.
That is: for every 365 days, users gain 1 point of reputation-altering power.
For every 1000 posts, users gain 1 point of reputation-altering power.
For every 50 points of reputation, users gain 1 point of reputation-altering power.
There is a 50 post minimum AND a 50 rep minimum before one's rep clicks (or reputation hits) will actually count on others. There's also limits on how often one can give rep to the same person or rep to others, in one day, etc. Patience!
Nobody is going to get anywhere fast with this, and it will work much better than the old Wyrd system. Less like a game and more useful.
Obviously, there's room for changes or improvements/adjustments in the settings but this is a start. If anyone has any questions, ideas or thoughts... even ridicule, to be honest, about this feature, don't hesitate to post!
And thank you, to all of you, for your patience and understanding during this massive change-over!! PF just wouldn't BE Pagan Forum, if it weren't for all of you!!
