what is this star located in bottom left corner of my post?
when I click on it, it says "This post has not received any reputation. You currently have 78 reputation point(s)."
whats the purpose of it and how do you receive or give reputation? how many points do i need? thanks

Okay, who let the stars outta the bag ??!!
That was supposed to be a secret

Some fun facts...
The user that you give rep to will not know who gave him rep unless you sign your name along with the rep comment.
You can also hover your mouse pointer over them green squares you see under your name.


andkaal's squares says... 'andkaal is a glorious beacon of light'
kingoffighter's says... 'kingoffighter is just a really nice guy'
Captain has a reputation beyond repute

Its kinda funny what some of them say


And that Rep Power points at the bottom of the list there, increases as your post count increases.
I think with every 50 posts the rep power gains a point
