An established and reputable user rewards more points compared to a novice. If I award someone points it will be 5-8 points vs. 1 point from a new user. I could set any amount of points for myself but I don't mind following the same rules as everybody does. After all, my role includes administration and that can't be measured by Rep Power
Also, you should now be able to see who awarded the points and what comments they left. I activated that feature.
