Reputation increases when you're upvoted by a user who has more Rep than you do. Mine has gone up pretty quickly for essentially three reasons:
- When I was first here I got Curied a couple of times, and a Curie vote is great for Rep.
- Leaving quality comments for/conversing with users with higher Rep who upvote their commenters.
- Buying votes from the @minnowbooster account which has a large Rep score.
I'll boost yours you a little bit with an upvote here, but high Rep really doesn't matter much; it's mostly useful for hiding spammers who have less than 20.
