Number Next To My Name
What is the zero next to my name? It's in parentheses. I see a lot of people with a really high number. I'd just like to know what this number signifies. It has the HTML title "cycles".

It's like Karma on Reddit.

@DanielSchumache Makes sense! Thank you!
This number shows how many cycles (points) you have. Cycles are counted by how many up votes your posts/comments get in Repl.it Talk. These can also be described as reputation (stackoverflow).
@Mosrod Ohh. Okay. Thank you for explaining. I figured it had something to do with that, but I wanted to make sure. While I am asking questions, what is that blue star on your profile picture? How are you a "hacker"?
@ChandlerMorell The blue star shows up if you are a Repl.it Talk moderator, or work at Repl.it.
@Mosrod That makes perfect sense! Thank you for the explanations!
@ChandlerMorell you can buy the hacker here: https://repl.it/site/pricing
@amasad Ahh. I see. Thanks!
