Reputation

Can someone explain to me this reputation thing? I know how to approve or disprove a post but how do I check my own (I have 10 rep points, what does that mean). More importantly how do I check someone else’s rep? Why are some Green and some Red? Good / Bad?

 

I pulled this from another thread where Brett listed the reputation levels:

 

If you put your cursor over the small green or red block under someone's name/avatar then you can see their reputation rating.

Also if you click on Control Panel -> Member List, then sort by reputation you can see where people fall in line at.

 

Ah... Thanks for the help.
