I guess this forum uses a little bit different then usual reputation system, I wonder what are those means, for example, I have title “student penguin” I know that means I have 50 posts, but I have also have a 2 little openSuse icons, and a 1 green bar under openSuse icons, When I see other users, some of them have 1 or 2 big openSuse heads, some of them have different type of openSuse heads, and some with almost full green bar. What are those means?

Above is the information I have and below is the link to Forum FAQ’s where even more information on the forum operation can be found. I encourage anyone that sees valuable information provided by any user here in these forums to add to that users reputation by pressing the little star in the bottom left corner of one of the messages that user has left that you liked. You should always leave a comment as the reputation reward goes up by a point if you also leave a comment.
Thank You,
So, green bar is my reputation, and suse icon is my post number?
So, green bar is my reputation, and suse icon is my post number?
Yes. The reputation shows up as little green bars, as soon as you get any point rewards, Everyone gets a single bar, that turns green after the first reward. Then another bar shows up for each 10 points of rewards you get. As you may have guessed, most users don’t know how they work and most efforts to help, do not get any points, but ever so often, you get a reward from a happy user that has also paid attention to how the reward system works.
As for the message counts, you keep getting more symbols as you keep posting messages. The type and number change depending on the message count range you may be in. It does inspire some to go online more often, posting messages. I do look at it as telling of my efforts online, but really, your aim needs to be helping others. As you do so, you discover even more about using openSUSE and using Linux. So helping others helps you as well.
Thank You,
James, something must have changed since the list was written. I can’t see your rep in the list? Strange.
Kim did make some changes
Let me see if I can find it. It was mostly to accommodate crazy posters like me.

not that alone would stop questions

I feel annoyed that I can’t put my wide range of languages on stupid
Facebook. For example, I speak Sarcasm, fluently spoken and written,
and Various Forms of Geek…
