I'm a little confused about rating

I read the alert thing about how are ratings might fluctuate and I am a little bit unsure what they mean, where do you view you ratings? Is it the parenthesized number by your name? because I thought that was how many topics you had posted or replied to. How do you get these ratings? are they from people who rate you discussion with the + or -? Thanks in advance for answering my questions.

The rating is given just after user name in brackets . At present it is 43 for you. it is related to the number of responses you have in others discussions , the number of the responses you got for your topics and the number of + or - given to you . The earnings are calculated based on the quality of your posts and the ratings .

Oh ok, that makes a little more sense, it's not one or the other it's both. Thanks for clarifying this for me.
