You get an increase of 1 rep power for each 1000 posts and 1 rep power for each anniversary when you joined.
people view rep differently. I remember there was this new user in the bible discussion forum and he and i were in a debate and he was not taking what I and what others were saying well he saw our correction as attacking and messaged me saying so you think that because you have high reputation your right or something? (my rep was 143 back then) And I said no, my rep power doesn't validate what I say as right or as wrong it is not even any indication of me at all in my eyes.

Rep power can be seen as a sort status and i can see why some would think one with high rep would be a well known well respected member I know several who have less posts than I do and have far more rep power and for good reason but at the same time rep power is not always an indication of the person themselves
Great rundown. If I spend my days on this site opening up insubstantial threads and posting in multitudes each day therein racking up rep points, that doesn't mean I have any content worthwhile nor that I command respect as a member. Some of the most inspirational people with the most solid posts, including mods, don't boast the numbers, but it doesn't take away from the validity of their messages.
