I'm curious about how "Reputation" is calculated (no, I'm not really worried about mine - I just tag along).
As an example, take Vince (nothing personal, Vince, just an example).

Obviously 2 extra "Reputation" points from somewhere, but where?

If Vince's rep is pink, what's yours?
47 Total
2 points from Members
45 (well earned) points from Posts.
That computes.

This is the most mind-boggling thing to me... except Steve and "Yosemite" Pete of course. I don't like this "mini-mod" label you and a few others received.
Anyway I lost one point of reputation, but after being made "senior member" regained it. I try not to pay a lot of attention to forum awards.

Stars are based on number of posts. Phil has 177 posts and 3 stars, while you have 262 posts and 4 stars. Stars are just an indication of forum activity.
Mini-mods are folks who have their own "Prolific Programmer" forum. They can edit and moderate their own subforum there, but not anywhere else. They're not "true" mods over the forums -- just their own "Prolific Programmer" subforum.
Pete and I are the only 2 full-forum administrators.
But mini-mods are honestly nothing more than regular users who have posted a ton and requested a private sub-forum for ease of organizing and showcasing their work.

Stars are the only indicator of any importance. I have 7-stars! Steve just says I'm over-compensating for something, but I' can't figure out what he's talking about.

"Stars are based on number of posts."
Yeah good question, I have 1073 (now 1074) posts. I suppose since I moderate my own corner those posts don't count?
Guess it wouldn't be right to take all the stars ;-))

Pete
Maybe the stars have something to do with it too?

General users get stars based on the above, from 1 to 5.
Mini-mods all have 3 stars.
Super-mods have 6 stars.
Admin have 7 stars.
LOL, I had to go back and check the settings just to refresh my memory on how it all pulled together completely.
