Information
Reputation is a way of rating users depending on the quality of their posts. If you feel that a member has or is being helpful to you or just has been helping out in general, you can give them rep on the particular helpful post. 
Warning
The Reputation System is not to be abused, such as in repping each other to get a higher level, handing it out as a welcoming gift to newcomers, or begging members to give you rep.
The reputation scale is as follows:
-99 to 0
1 to 10
11 to 20
21 to 30
31 to 40
41 to 50
Once you hit 50, you will start gaining bright green dots on top of the 5 dark dots but it takes three times as much to gain a bright green dot.
51 to 80
81 to 110
111 to 140
141 to 170
171 to 200
201 and up
1st Gold pip- 201 2nd-291 3rd-381 4th- 471 5th- 561 First Star Medal- 651
Once you receive 651 rep points, you will get the first star medal.
When you receive a medal, your displayed rep pips will start over again from one pip.
In addition, there are 3 levels of medals - Bronze, Silver and Gold, once you have 4 bronze, then your next will go up to the next level and onto Silver, etc.
