That is rep that you have earned for your comments/help towards other members. If you click on the weighing scales, that allows you to give good or bad rep on posts.

You dont have to give rep, but it is polite ( i think) to give it if you've had good advice. A nice little quirk of the forum. Cheers.

If you go to usercp you can see who rep'd you and for what :) as it says what rep you have at the top of the usercp page when it loads (you have the menu down the left hand side and the rep down the middle-right hand side). :)

It should work like this:

More green squares = more trusted advice from that poster
Red squares = don't believe a word they say!

However popularity and number of posts comes into it too! (Although according to the rules it shouldn't).

I generally leave rep when a post outstanding (one way or the other!), but for most posts I'm too lazy!
