What's your rep?

Reputation is an optional way to represent the community's trust in you. Earning reputation is easy! You get points every time someone votes up one of your questions or answers. If someone says that your answer solved their problem, you get 30 points.

You can always ask a question or post an answer. As your reputation increases, the system trusts you more. This is the reputation required to have these abilities:

Ability	Reputation
Vote on moderator actions	100
Vote down posts	200
Edit tags	200
Recategorize questions	200
Edit questions	5000
Edit answers	50000

Your reputation can go up and down based on how others perceive you, just like it would in real life. Certain things, such as voting down a post, cost a little bit of reputation. Not much, but enough to encourage you to be sparing with your criticism.

You can earn up to 200 reputation per day.
