when you hand out rep the amount passed on is based on your own reputation, the more you have the bigger your contribution. the system kinda works like the metric system... full yellow bars give you one green block, full green bars give you one brown star, your 10th brown star turns into one silver star then it goes back to the yellow bars, green bars, brown stars, until you gain another silver star...etc..etc...
ones, tens, hundreds, thousands.....
the upper limit of the reputation level is 3 brown, 6 silver and full green which equals 2147483647 points
why 2147483647 you ask??????
The number 2,147,483,647 is also the maximum value for a 32-bit signed integer in computing. It is therefore the maximum value for variables declared as int in many programming languages running on popular CPUs, and the maximum possible score (or amount of money) for many video games. The appearance of the number often reflects an error, overflow condition, or missing value. Similarly, "(214) 748-3647" is the sequence of digits represented as a United States phone number and is the most common phone number listed on web pages.
The data type time_t, used on operating systems such as Unix, is a 32-bit signed integer counting the number of seconds since the start of the Unix epoch (midnight UTC of 1 January 1970). The latest time that can be represented this way is 03:14:07 UTC on Tuesday, 19 January 2038 (corresponding to 2,147,483,647 seconds since the start of the epoch), so that systems using a 32-bit time_t type are susceptible to the Year 2038 problem.
Sooooo... as you gain reputation the size of reputation you pass on increases, this process will continue until you have reached the maximum reputation OR until January 19, 2038 when the internet will impload...whichever comes first....
