I think you'll find that (like I said in the previous post)
the rep system is working! people's status text change when they got from 0 - 1 rep post, so I think that the sitution is more than you don't have enough rep point to have moved up another level and gotten a new green square.
you don't get a new green square for each point recieved you know!
and if you award someone a rep point, they do get that, and they rep point count does go up.
in short, the reputation point system is not broken and doesn't need fixing.
it wasn't a wasted suggestion, it was just a wrong suggestion!
want the green square to move, then answer more posts and get some more rep points... just to help you on your way I'll give you one now!
