This article explains the Member Reputation system used to reward members for quality posts in the community.
Reputation is different from Activity. Activity counts every new content item that you post, whereas Reputation must be earned by someone liking ("Stiffie") your post.
Stiffie
The Member Reputation system is popularly known as Stiffies. They are one and the same.
You give a stiffie to another user by reacting to his post. You can earn a stiffie by another user liking your post.
You usually get more stiffies by posting quality, informative content that other users enjoy.
You can check your total number of stiffies by going to your Profile.
There are 8 kinds of reactions: Like | Dislike | Love | Haha | Confused | Informative | Fabulous | Stiffie. Most of them will increase your stiffie reputation. Confused and Dislike are neutral reputations, which will neither add nor subtract from your reputation.
