Little green boxen

Please, praytell, of what significance are these little green boxen:

The alt text indicates that I'm "just really nice" which is something often said by neighbors about the local serial killer.

Yes but is he as nice as you?

Much nicer so the neighbors say but always digging in his back yard. Digging, digging, digging, at all hours. They just thought he was very fond of shrubbery. Everything seemed to grow so splendidly in his garden...

I think you gain one for every 100 points of rep received.

Hi baarod,

These boxes give a quick guide to the Reputation achieved by a user - the more green boxes, the greater the reputation. The alternative text is arbitrary and can be changed by the Admins should they so wish, but I think that they have left this at the default wording (Shawn/John - please correct me if I am wrong on this).

So, like a cookie? How come some of yours are light green, Mr GRiM? Are they of a different flavour?

So, whey they roll round again does that mean a status upgrade/promotion?
