If you found what a persons post was about you can click on the green mushroom and they get a rep. The more reps they get the more green blocks appear under their username. (insert rep )

E.g., if you create a thread on a topic/question you wish to solve, and a guys does that. You can reward that person by pressing the mushroom

Thank you! (I gave you rep!) so I have one green box, so is that a good thing or do I start with that?

You start with 1 box and for every 25 points you get you gain a box. The more reputation the reputation giver has, the more reputation points you will get from them.

What do you get for all this work of begging for rep points??? A cookie?
