What are the red and green bars i see under peoples names in the forums? is it the amount of time of membership or helpfulness or number of posts posted or what?

Here have another.
Just don't make me regret having gave it to you in the future being that apparently we can only give a person one rating one time and there are no take backs.
Personally I find the rating system rather pointless over all. I have seen members here who have had all red bars yet gave good advice all the time and others who have all green despite the fact that every time they post they make it clear that they couldn't find the positive end of a AA battery if you gave them two guesses.
Oh wow I must carry a bit of influence? I see I just bumped you up two more bars!![]()
The more bars you have, the more points you give the other user, apparently. Oh well, can one of them count as mine?
Anyway, when I see that (a user with bad rep but who gives good advice), I just try to give them good rep for that post. If he gives enough good answers, he'll eventually get back into the green.
