What I don't understand about this forum is what the little green blocks under the name mean. The mouseover text makes me think they are a user rating scale, but there doesn't seem to be a lot of variation.

It's your reputation, people can give you good or bad evaluations, based on your posts - the more green blocks the better your reputation is. Red blocks mean you have a bad reputation!.
I wonder if it's possible to know who gave reputation. I imagine that in most cases the OP gives reputation after a helpful reply, but I gave rep after reading an interesting explanation, without being involved in that post.
