The power you have. Moderators have rep power. Junior members, and cadets dont. Senior members do. I think

Rep power is the amount of points you add when you rep a person. For example, if I were to give you rep, your rep would increase by 7. All users have a rep power of at least one.

Rep power is usually given to a person by someone who thinks that their post is of excellent quality perhaps in the HSC subject sub-forums. The system itself it not new to BoS it was taken away I think early 2012 because many users had abused the system, there was negative rep also.

Also people had an obsession to gain rep so a small rectangular gold bar would appear

Now only the mods have the right to neg people

Is there a way to check which users have given you rep recently?

On the top right hand corner of this page there is a link called "settings". Just click on that.

How many reps do you have to get for one of the dark green bar type things to show??? Does this change your name??

It doesn't change your name.

Right... Sorry I didn't mean name but subtitle kind of thing - like where you have 'piano player'.

Soz!

A 'Super Moderator' whose location is Limbo and has ~12kish posts told me you can change it when you can come up with a better penis pun than senior member.

It's an informal criteria, but I like to think it works

 

[Makematics]

how do you actually get one of those? do you have to be a member for a certain amount of time?

 

[Smile12345]

How about a little puzzle/ type thing....?

 

[Menomaths]

If you had made your account before a certain date then you could've changed it. If you didn't you have to wait for a certain period of time to change your subtitle. (I remember reading this, my sources might be wrong though)

Depends on your post count I think. We had 6 bars earlier but I was Senior and you were executive.
