Just curious--
At what point does a user's rep bar go up? I first assumed that it increased everytime the user recieved 100, but now I am thinking that this is not the case, since my rep is 100 and I still have one woeful bar.
My new hypothesis (don't worry, I don't actually take my curiosity seriously enough to invoke the scientific method) is that a user's rep affects rep bar increase in proportion to the amount of posts the user has made thus far. Accordingly, a user with 10 posts and 100 rep would have a considerably higher rep than a user with 100 posts and only 10 rep. The system seems to favor quality posts (the ones that would recieve rep) over quantity posts (ie. "me too" posts).
