Reputation points can be viewed in the following ways:

On a Profile page.
You can also view your reputation points in relation to other members via the leaderboard.

A note about reputation points achieved prior to the platform migration
The Community migrated to a new platform in June of 2023. All points that members previously achieved prior to the migration have been retained, unadjusted. These points were not recalculated when they were migrated. Following the migration, all points received are scored via the new methodology, and then added to any pre-existing totals.
