Houston, we have a problem. Each time I comment someone's post, the reply first shows a false, very low reputation level. It's displayed correctly only after I reload the page. Can we do something about it? I don't want people to mistake me for a villain.
25 is the default starter level ... when that has happened to me, it has generally been a lag between nodes. Your front-end is loading your post faster than all your reputation information is coming from the node, and by the time you refresh, the node catches up.
Generally this resolves whenever the nodes get all synced up again ... give it a few days, and understand that by the time most people see your post, if the differential is only a minute, they probably see your true reputation.
