Reputation Comments, positive and negative

I just don't understand the correlation/formula of # of posts, # of rep points, to Rep Power. Not that I care .. but it seems a bit more complex than I would have thought.
For example, I assumed that a small number of posts, coupled with high rep points, would equal highest possible rep power. However, I have nearly triple your post count, have slightly fewer rep points (2,815), yet have a higher Rep Power. Confused ... must be the software's ability to judge 'quality of content.'

Time served adds to rep power and post count is a bonus.
You caught that, huh? Funny that most of the comments are positive, but the rep is neg, lol.
I have a software that will remove the MS paint that is covering the Trout rep .. working on that now.
I believe you, but it doesn't seem that is accurate .. would love to see the formula, just because I'm somewhat of a numbers lover.
fascinating. C'mon GF, you gotta know how to post a ******* image by now, right?
Mission accomplished.

How does reputation work? Do you only get reputation by others, or do you earn it by posting. Is there a purpose to reputation?
The higher your rep power, relative to your number of posts, is the ratio other members view your posts as having useless or worthless content. Or something like that.

Hmm... so, 152/6 is almost 25 post per rep (That's pretty high)... I should stop posting before I ruin a good thing.
Ha .. you should re-read my post though (#2419), more slowly this time.

It's #posts + #rep points + #days since you created your account, each with its own weighting factor. You neglected to consider the third item.
Gotcha, thanks.

Thanks for the info. This makes sense.
So, some have suggested they believe the # of posts can negatively impact Rep Power .. I always assumed that would be incorrect because it would be counter-intuitive for Jason to give incentive (in any fashion) that would reward members for not posting.
