Can someone please explain to me how the reputation thing works. I have a rep of 13. I have no idea how. Can you get a bad rep?

Yes, you can get negative rep points. You'll find plenty of answers your questions in About the Forum. Here's a start, How do you "thank" people who give you reputation points?: https://www.city-data.com/forum/about...eople-who.html.

Hey BentAxle

And THEN, after you've gotten 101 Rep points, you can make a clever phrase or name under your handle. . .

Some folks care a great deal about this, others do not. Personally, I think it's cool.

In addition to the scale, you can click "[+] Rate this post positively" to give a Quick-reputation point to a post you like or find helpful.

Don't forget you can click on "my setting" on the top left of the page and see who has repped you if they left a message. The my settings record the reps that people gave you by clicking on the scales

I will leave you a note with some of my "gold stars" so you can see what I am talking about

I really like it when people leave their names,

This way I can also thank them, but also read their posts, make new friends,
