https://github.com/steemit/condenser/blob/master/src/app/help/en/faq.md contains:

Every time another user upvotes one of your posts or comments, it increases your reputation score. Users with a higher reputation than you will have more of a positive effect. The more Steem Power that the voter has, the larger the effect is as well.

Is the bold part correct?

I came across this:
https://github.com/steemit/steem/blob/4e9c1bec44cf55c82a4b4c1c611b6b367dd16ad3/libraries/plugins/follow/follow_plugin.cpp#L281

// Rule #1: Must have non-negative reputation to effect another user's reputation
// [...]
// Rule #2: If you are down voting another user, you must have more reputation than them to impact their reputation

I'm not sure if I fully understand the code, but I only found reputation variations by +- (rshares >> 6), which would be independent of the voter reputation.
If the FAQ is correct, could you point me to the implementation of the dependency on the voter reputation?

The FAQ's explanation is not correct. Good catch.
