Reputation Rating

How is the reputation rating for users established?
I looked at mine and am listed as 1 star.
I don’t know why that would be.
Thanks

I am guessing length of registration and number of posts?

Edit: just looked at my sidebar after posting, I have double your posts and double your stars..... I don't think it means much, so I wouldn't take it personaly

The number of stars is related to number of posts [not reputation].
1-10 posts
2-50
3-100
4-400 or 500
5-1000

The number of green squares [on profile page] is related to number "Thanks" received.

Thanks. I darn near cried.

Cool... I keep forgetting about all those silly things. I get the easy five stars for me ... too much free time on my hands . But apparently I'm "splendidly helpful" according to me green boxes.

Well, isn't that just ... splendid .

Something to look forward to. Maybe not in good advice but in questions.
