Strange.

Because som members have for example 2 green blocks reputation with 100 karma power and others 6 green blocks of reputation with 60 karma power... ???

Repuation is vb's answer to karma. They are one and the same thing.

[bugriders]

Ok thanks!

[Awjvail]

theres a thread on vb.com explaining the way green blocks work etc.
i'm too lazy to go find it though.

What is the difference between Karma Power and Reputation? I know this thread is old, but Karma (aka Reputation as noted in other posts in this thread) and Karma Power are two different things.

Assuming this is turned on:

Karma is how may points you accumulate through people giving you Karma.

Karma Power is how many Karma "points" you give when when you give someone else Karma. I am not sure exactly how Karma Power is calculated, but I *think* adminCP > vBulletin Options > User Reputation Options > Reputation Point Factor determines this.

The settings are in the adminCP > vBulletin Options > User Reputation Options
