The calculation is crazy, built into vBulletin and not easy to turn off as the calculation is spread over many parts of the code in an aggregate form.
It's based on the person giving the reputation:
days registered (bias towards a higher number)
post count (bias towards a higher number)
sum of their reputation points (bias towards a higher total)
amount they give/take reputation (bias towards higher activity)
The last one is an amplifier, and should really not be factored. And the post count shouldn't count as heavily as it does. Days registered makes it hard for anyone new to be counted equally.
