Question about the green "bars" on this site

[The Serpent Merchant]

Ok so today I noticed that a second green bar showed up above my avatar. What exactly does this mean? I see a lot of users with tons of bars. What "achievement" gets you another bar? Not that it really matters I just wanted to know lol.

Thanks

If you hover your cursor it shows that it is because you have a rep score between 50-249.

I'll have to try that sometime when I'm on my computer and not my iPhone. Thanks

It has to do with how many times you've been thanked, I believe.

its your "reputation", see the little star on the other side of the bar to the thanks? it adds "reputation", thanking ive heard adds less, but its quicker

gimme rep not thanks

hahaha. i give thanks when someone says something funny or interesting in a post.

I give +rep when people start good threads or when they post some good information. Or if they're the first person to answer a difficult question. Everyone else normally gets a thanks

If i agree with someone, i'll also thank their post to show that i support what they're saying
