Why is sixth green gem lit up?

I was wondering why the sixth green gem and all the green gems after it are brighter than the first five in the reputation ratings that you see for all the super VBForums members that have 6 or more green gems.

Remember to put "[Serious]" in the title next time you ask a question in the CC...

Here is some info in the FAQ: http://www.vbforums.com/faq.php?faq=...reputationgems

From that, it looks like starting from 500 rep points and up, we get lit up green gems :)

For the most complete information on reps/gems see the Reps and Ratings link in my signature :)

I looked at the Reps and Ratings link in your signature. Very helpful. 6 members have 11 gems. I see the first 5 gems are worth 100 points each and the 6th on are worth 200 points each. Now I know.

VBForums has helped me a lot. It serves its purpose very well.
