In the new forums by each post there is the laywer looking scale thingy. if you press it a box will come up. it will ask how you like the post and asks you to put a comment. if you get enough people to give you these "point" type of things you get another little green box. IfYou might give someone a good point if someone does something helpful or positive and if you feel they acted negative you could give them a bad one. kinda confusing but o well
its kinda something you have to earn. it tells people that your helpful opr positive i guess. anyone can put 1000 random post but getting more green boxes is kinda harder. It says "Reputation" on this forum but on another forum i saw it called "Karma" and it makes a little more sense there but o well.
