There have been some questions on the reputation meter (grey lines under your avatar) so thought I would look in to it. The meter is working as intended. If you hover the cursor over the bars it will give you a message about that user reputation. The big confusion seems to be on how that reputation "score" is calculated. It has nothing to do with post count, it rises when people click "like" on the posts. Once you get enough "likes" the meter starts to rise and the red lines appear, two at a time.
Not all "like" clicks are equal though. A member who has been here longer and has more posts and more reputation that person clicking like on someones post makes the "like" count go up faster. Moderators also have more of a impact if they click "like". I'm going to change the parameters a bit.
