Hi @powerfulpangolin,

That is your reputation number.
It goes up when someone vote on your post or comment.
It comes down when someone flagging you.
When the voter have higher reputation, it will have bigger affect on your reputation.

It's 26 now;)

27! How does this happen so fast?

Yes, it goes up fairly quick at first as you receive votes and you don't need too much to pass each level. It will slow down as each following level incrementally getting harder and harder to fill with votes:)

You can see your actual reputation stats on http://steem.cool/@powerfulpangolin

Keep up with good work!

upvte and resteem i will do back
nice information i am following you

You were at 25, then @winstonwolfe and I voted for you. Because we both have more reputation than you, your number got a boost. :D
It's easy to gain at first, but gets harder as the number gets higher.

Look at you guys!!!! I feel more mature already!
