I think that the User rating is just based on the number of posts that you make whereas Reputation depends on your peers assessing your posts and marking them up or down by using the rating buttons in the bottom right hand corner of each post. So if someone posts some really useful tip then you can mark the post up and I guess that then features in your reputation.

Could it be that some people aren't keen on moving avatars?

I didn't say "annoy"; I said "aren't keen".
 
I'm not keen on them but certainly don't think it's worth hitting the minus button for.

As some of you may or may not have noticed, one of the newer features in the forum is the ability to promote/demote a user's reputation by click on the little green + or red - icons () at the bottom right hand corner of a post.
 
I noticed that members in some groups were able to use the feature and others not. All shooting members should now be able to use this feature, if not then please let me know.
 
Thanks
