Rep points are given via that little scale icon in upper right corner of each post. How many points are given are based on who the giver is--how many rep points he or she has and/or post count or something like that. Why the giver gives is up to the giver, and may or may not be reflected in the comment they leave.
BTW, I'd say probably 3/4 of the points I've gotten have been for funny comments and for pro-2nd amendment statements in ClubFTE.

When you make a good post some people will give them out. There should allso be a short message telling you why.

Hi Guthrie!
Do you see that little scale icon in the upper right of the box this post is in?
By clicking on that you can rate someone's post as helpful or unsuitable. By clicking on the exclamation point you can call immediate attention to a moderator.
So if someone's concise and helpful you can give them a 'bonus' if they're rude or 'flaming' or worse you can rate them too!
Does this help?
I'm really a n00b here so I'm still keeping out of all that, for now.....

"Generally, negative points aren't given out unless something is REALLY bad."
I've seen some jousting on this board, good natured and otherwise, but I'd imagine if you violated the sex, politics, vulgarity rule you'd be -blanked- and told so by an admin. Or the thread terminated/ removed.
This is covered in the FAQ's. Look at the blue bar above the top of the thread.
Like I said I'm still learning how it goes here.

IMO,People who ASK for points are Gauch
some people have even resorted to asking for them in their Sigs.. How gaucher can you be ?
They either come to you or they don't.
I give them out sparingly because to me the people who gets them really earned them
