Nope ... this is user-based only. And I don't think there is any kind of ranking involved - it's just intended to add a little extra functionality to the forum which in a way gives people an idea of any particular user's popularity and/or ummm ... I suppose, helpfulness on the forum.

So if a guy has a long green bar, then you can probably guess that he/she/(it? ) is being generally helpful and well-mannered, and if it's red you can bet the user spends most of his time being an ass.
