I searched and could only find bits and pieces are guesses. Is there an official word on this?

For example, why is my score currently +136?

The members of my community want to understand how their reputation numbers are calculated. I agree with them. 
 

Thanks!

It's the sum total of any reputation given to you by other people.

Not all are positive. Its all dependent on how you setup your reputation system. You can set up neutral (or reputation icons) or negative ones. So Neutral will not affect reputation at all. Negative will remove a reputation point.

NOTE: That if you change the reputation scoring AFTER someone gets reputation for it, it will not change their score as it had a value prior to the change.

So if you change a positive reputation point item to neutral or negative all of the positive reputation people received from it will still be there.

Ah, this is why I couldn't make sense of it. I had to recount the reputation and all the numbers add up now.
