The Mechanics of Rep?

Just wondering if anyone can shed light on how rep works?

I was up to 98.1 on Monday and knew it would drop a little overnight. Went back on today and even after a kill or two, I checked and it was down to 94.

I heard it dropped 1 point per day but this is clearly wrong as mine must have dropped around 8 points in a 24 hour period.

I'm guessing it must drop faster, the higher it is?

I don't think it drops faster the higher you are, as I jumped on as Mellon today, after six days off and had dropped from 400 to 391.

I don't know what the rate is, per day, but if it is a sliding scale then the difference is very small.

I'm not sure how you could lose eight points in a day unless it was a bug, (surely not!). Occasionally I kill someone, get the rep showing in the chat box, then check my rating and it hasn't gone up.

So that'll be three paragraphs of me saying I can't help you.
