What does that rep power bit mean?

The bit under the post counter, it says rep power with a number.

What is it?

I don't think so. What you're talking about is "moderators." Which is whoever is given moderator powers by the owner of the board.

Rep power is a totally different feature of the vBulletin software:

It's a method of feedback. When you really like something someone says, you can give them reputation (rep) points. After they get a certain amount of positive feedback, they gain rep power. The more good things people say about them, the higher the rep power.

From what I can tell, rep power is an indication of how helpful and knowledgable the person in question has been in the past. Just having the points will not gain you any advantage that I am aware of.
