My guess is that this is related to the system they use over at Circvs Maximvs called dignatas in keeping with the roman theme over there. You can nominate a specific post rather than a thread. You accumulate points that have no real value other than prestige. If people like what you have to say they agree with your posts by nominating them and your reputation grows through ranks like plebeian and senator. Under your avatar you have a score and a rank. I presume it is a feature of the software and must have been turned on briefly over here as well as at CM.
