Help me with a small rep experiment

Whenever I receive a rep, I notice the movements in the rep points. I became curious as to how many rep points I can dish out myself. So I wondered if anyone would help me find out. A volunteer can post his/her current rep points total, either by writing it in or by way of a screenshot. When I see this, I will immediately goodrep you (unless you're one of the people I repped this weekend, the system prevents me from repeating reps so soon) and afterwards you can post your new total.

I have 2147483647 reputation points. Awesome that not even Sapeod's frequent bad reps stopped me from reaching the maximum rep value :D

yeh, 2147483647 also.

what does the maximum rep value even mean, exactly - receiving the maximum amount of points from others' good reps, or to do with giving out reps myself? does the total draw from a particular period of time or everything since the MTF join date....?

Your rep points has nothing directly to do with what you give, only what you receive (indirectly giving helps, if you get reps in return, since then the people giving to you will have more to give).

The total undoubtedly draws from the MTF join date. Back when the system was started, I doubt anyone thought about maximum values. In fact, I know from asking a veteran that back then the dots were even in play - not as now, when most newcomers go straight from one to ten green dots on their first rep. But it turned out that after a few years points accumulated and became big numbers indeed.

I have 1792260549 points. I have no idea what it means...

A very interesting development. I just received a badrep from someone who's been around a long time. I lost 10737425 points. Calculating backwards, this leaves very strong circumstantial evidence that a badrep is not
-1%, but actually -0,5%. That corresponds with this poster's total being maximum. It would be an odd coincidence if his points were exactly half of maximum.

I have the best rep score of them all: 1547937273
