| Reputation? Wth. HUH?
Yes, okay, I know what it is, I know where it is, I know how it works. I just don't know why. What's the whole point?
And one more thing. Can you see someone else's 'rep' points? How?

| It's just for fun and generally meaningless. Although, some people take their number of green dots very seriously. 
As for seeing their exact points, I don't think you can. But you can sort the members list by reputation and get a sense of relative point count. | |

| Okay, so, wait. The green dots, below your number of posts.. Those are REPUTATION? I thought it was like on some other forums, where you got more dots as you posted more.

| Yep, the more green dots you have, the more reputation you have. Although, once you get to a certain level, you stop acquiring dots.

| So the ones that are light green on you, that's as far as you can go before you stop getting them?
Cool. Makes (more) sense now.

| I think I have the worst post to rep ratio. Maybe Inquartata is the worst.

Among active posters, it's probably not you or Inq because you both post regularly in rep farming threads and such. I probably have a lower ratio than both of you, for example.
I have 12414 rep for 6555 posts. | |

| You're the one who wanted her on page one with you and the rest of your favourite girls. What do you think your girls were going to do silly??? We've all got plenty of rep to share.
The moral of the story folks... marry someone with lots of rep and friends in high places. Then 25 posts = lotz rep.
