So essentially, the bars get increasingly difficult to get as your "reputation" increases. The first few are relatively easy, but the next couple take quite a bit of work.

Thanks for the heads up. I figured that'd be the case when I realized I didn't get another bar when I hit 600?

Thanks for the answers guys!

I just found this thread and seems most of the question has been answered and corrected if necessary. So to recap:

As Necro said ever 100 points is a bar but the cut off is actually at the 100th point not just before it so it's more like this:
1-100 1 bar
101 - 200 2 bars
...and so on. Post count have nothing to do with it.

As Apollo mentioned after the 5th bar (+500 points), it takes +200 to get another bar. You can see the representation visually as the bars change color from a darker green to a much lighter green.

I saw two links to my thread HERE (which is a work in progress), so use the information there to help if needed. Also, be sure to check out the second post where has the bars and points at which they are acquired.

Something to note is that it's not just about the Thanks that are shown at the bottom of the post. There is also the green thumbs up, it doesn't add as many points as a Thanks but it does count and essentially one could get just those and increase their rep bar without ever getting a "Thanks".

Finally, since Art mentioned she got a new bar but didn't know how, there is a simple way to keep track of the last 5 +rep that you got by checking the user "Settings" which is located at the top right of every page (full web page only) or clicking HERE.

This system was supposed to be fun and plenty of forums use it, but remember that you cannot discredit anyone simply because they don't have reputation to back them (or even have a red bar). Razer went on a neg rep rampage when the system was in its infancy and has still maintained that status today. Stop making it about something that it's not!

I was told the bars represented your powers over other users through the magic of the interwebz.

Why thank you Stomp for being a (willing) volunteer.
As you can see I personally have 6 green +rep bars, while Stomp has 7 but our stats are very different:

Gluttony: Thanked 194 Times in 98 Posts
StompArtist: Thanked 357 Times in 254 Posts

So why does Stomp have 160+ more thanks than me but only one more rep bar?

The answer: My superpowers are much more useful than his.

I think the answer is that you are somehow cheating the rep system.

Cheating? I just found the door to Equestria before you, here friendship is magic!

**Swimmingstar** · 03-26-2012, 02:14 PM

My answer: A like is more valuable than a thank but you must like about 276428482 other people before liking the post of a person a second time. And I think New Members give one thank but no points in likes or thanks. While it seems everyone else's thanks is 2 points. (just from observations) and it seems most likes are 15 points to me. Some seem like 20, some like 40. While I don't get the like back thing where it says thanks for adding to this users reputation may you get the same in return... when the like doesn't say who liked your post. It's anonymous.

And... now I don't really know what I'm talking about so yes. I hope I helped?

The answer: My superpowers are much more useful than his.

In the beginning, a thank was worth 5points not 2. After the change it ruined the balance, so you'll see people with less thanks but more bars. That's how some users were already at 5 bars the first few weeks.
