The little green squares under your username show your "reputation points". In case people don't know what reputation points are, I've posted a description about it below. If you want to add on to a user's reputation, you need to click this button:
Quote:
1. All users start with a 10 reputation points.
2. Any user with at least 25 posts and with at least 10 reputation points are allowed to add reputation.
3. Every user can add reputation to 10 different users every 24 hours.
4. You must give reputation to 20 different users before you can hit the same person again.
In addition to the reputation points, every user have a reputation altering power points, reputation altering power is the amount of reputationpoints that every user will add or remove every time an user give reputation to an user.
This is what appear when you click in the reputation button of an user:
--------------------------------------

If you disaapprove you are removing or substracting reputation points to this users, the amounts of the reputation points substracted is your altering power points that you have.

Forgot to add one more thing. Once you receive reputation, in your User Control Panel (http://www.earnersforum.com/usercp.php), you'll see a menu that says "Latest Reputation Received". It'll show the reputation you got, and the comment (if the person adding reputation added one). There will also be a square on the first column, if the square is green then it means you got reputation, if the square is gray, then it means that you didn't get any reputation because the person giving you reputation didn't have enough posts.
