Thanks for your help.

This is a quote from the thread explaining the BioCredits system:

Reputation has a massive effect on your BioCredit total. If you make helpful posts, other members will give you a +1 bonus to your reputation, which will count towards 10 BioCredits. Anyone who has a post count of 1 or greater can add or remove reputation from other members, and the amount of reputation that you can give/remove increases directly with your own reputation score.

Basically, it's one way of judging how helpful (or otherwise) other members think you are.

One other point to note: once you have given someone some reputation points, you won't be able to give the same person any more until you have given some to 3 other people.

And you can see who has been very helpfull if you have questions and thingy's.

Offcourse misusage of this system by giving the same link alot of time can get you a huge amount of reputations, isn't that true tamlin??
