TR and TF reputation systems were separated due to users being sent to the wrong posts when trying to find out what post they were given the points for.

It may be integrated again, but thats how it is for now.

what about an auto redirect? like if i was on TR, went to FFA, it took me straight to FFA in TF...same idea, anything thats on TF, but accessed from TR, gets automatically redirected to TF stuff?

Unfortunately it's not that simple. Everything is related to something else in the database using reference numbers. The number of the post you were given reputation for on TF may also exist on TR.

Which was the problem that sparked the separation in the first place. Users were seeing what they were given reputation for and were beingtaken to whatever post it matched on the board, regardless of if it was given on the other site.

We cano program it to how you are explaing it, we just aren't going to do it at this time. The amount of time to get it to work isn't worth it at the moment. There are a couple of things we have in mind that would eliminate that issue, but they aren't going to happen in the near future.

So is this why it says I received rep points from 2 different people on a wet kit...yet I never posted in that thread? I was wondering what that was about.

Yes. I seperated the TR/TF reputation systems so they should be separate now. This fixes any reputation from now going forward, but the ones already given.
