See that little green square to the right of your name, that is an indicator of your reputation points on FTE. Usually it is given to you by another member for a post that you made they liked. Whether it was something humorous, informative, helpful advice to another member or just a great thread you started. To give another member some Rep points you click on the silver scales and click the "I approve" circle. If you add a comment in the space provided it will give them more points and also let them know why you gave them. The total amount of points awarded is based on some secret formula FTE uses but when you acquire 100 of them you get another green square. So guys spread some goodies around to other members of your chapter, nepotism isn't all bad.
