It shows how many times people have thumbed up your posts or thanked you.
Every 50 thanks you get another bar,
Every 25 thumbs up you get another bar.
Hmmm Thanks Silent(:
So that's why I have no bar's ;-P
Hey buddy hope this helps you understand a little more.

You get one point per thumbs up so you actually need 100 of those lol, and 2 pts per thanks. they cut down the 5pts per thanks (it's why some people rose to so many bars so quickly [i didn't benefit from the time period]), and I'm suspecting that they rose the points per bar requirement the past month or two since I would've been sitting at 7 bars with my points, so it must have risen. I'm guessing it's every 150 pts now and I'm close to that mark, so I'll confirm or deny when I get there.
You get a bar every 100 rep points.
Since you start with 1, at 100 pts you'll have 2.
Example: I have 307 rep points. I have 4 bars. I got my 4th one when I hit 300. Same with my 3rd and 200.
Other than that, the +2 and +1 for thanks and thumbs up seems accurate.
OAH! I honestly never understood those bars either. I always thought the developers gave them out for whatever reason xD
Thumbs ups are a bit weird... I ended up looking over the vBulletin forums a while ago. Summed up:
Was curious because I've gained all sorts of numbers from thumbs up, like 2, 17, even 49 once.Quote:
When you rep somebody: Their original rep points +/- your rep power = their new rep points
On android app cant c anything and im mostly on it. So didnt know how rep look like.
Some months ago while checking on laptop, saw the green bars. Thought it was an online mark. :p
But then so many peep were online and some more online than other. :D
It might be different from each bar. Harder to get to the next. For me it's 2 points for thanks and I think 4-40 for thumbs? Idk about thumbs. It's always different for me. But reputation doesn't matter... so. :)
i have 4 bars. (:
Chuck Norris has 11 one higher than possible.
I have 5 with 425, I'm sure thanks is still 2 points, but thumbs up from a member at senior or above seems to give a lot more.
Though who's counting?
This is probably the reason so many threads are being necro'd,
for post counts and rep. I would just as soon do away with the reputation bar since it's more of a popularity contest than anything, though I do like being able to thank someone for their post instead of making a new post to do so.
I haven't seen my rep bar in ages (or anyone elses for that matter), I use tapatalk for the forums, so I don't really care if it stays or goes. Just thought I'd throw it out there.
Someone mind checking my reputation for me? Im on app so I can't see it.
I got 77 bars but most are invisible. Must be a forum glitch because I couldn't possibly be lying.
I need to get rid of a bar, and quick. God forbid people think I'm... Helpful *shudder*
I see no bars...?
I love my red bar :) i had two at one point til devs cought on there was an organization that purposely wanted bad rep i think then they took it away and i got sad :/ but i have -47 points last i checked lolol ;-)
Thanks Bod.
I have 828 points. I believe anything less than a senior member earns you less points, sometimes even 0. Anything higher might earn you more points, but that one I have yet to find out.
I'm not sure. Once you clear senior, I think the points system and posts are independent. That said, more senior members are more more likely to earn points by virtue of having more posts. That said, posts should be evaluated on their own merit, not necessarily based on the poster.
Well said, tho this is unfortunately not the case at all times.
Even tho I was playing about, I really did mean that these days rep is just for fun. The funniest person in a thread may have a load of rep from all the thanks they have received for being funny. The OP or persons that made valid a true points to a thread get nada.
It's become a 'like' on FB, some rep does come from a well said post but mostly for comedic value.
people give thanks for all different reasons. i try to avoid giving it for something that's funny and try to stick to giving them for helpful, informative posts, but lately mime has been the exception...... y u crack me up so much!!! (don't feel like meme farming right now, that will have to do)
Also worth noting is that there is no limit to how many thanks you can get for 1 post. The only limit is that a person can only thank people once for each post.
also, one day i was thanking Sam too much apparently and was told to "spread the thanks around." but in my defense, he did help me about 20 times that day AND his rep is so bad he needed the boost, hahahaha
so i guess there is a limit to how much u can thank one person in a day (for obvious reasons), i just don't know how many times that is
