You can click on the userCP button then scroll down. Near the bottom of the page should be a listing of the last 5 reps people have given you.
We've had rep on our larger forums and ran into several complications and misuse of rep. People were leaving nasty messages for each other and using it as a way to get back at each other. Due to these events, we use a limited rep on all our forums now. ONLY mods/admins can give negative rep (though it's rare for us to give rep). ONLY mods/admins can now tell who left what rep. If you find an offensive rep comment, please inform a supermods or admin of this and they will handle it.
Everyone starts with rep points of 10. This goes up and down as people give you rep. (You can check to see how many points you have by going to your userCP and looking at the rep section.) As does your rep power (which you can find on the homepage of the forums)
You can only give rep to 3 people per day. This is to hinder people from going up too fast in rep.
You have to rep 10 different people before you can rep the same person again. This is also to hinder certain people from going up to fast.
