Forum reputations, are somehow like video games, it plays with the idea of personal satisfaction as it motivates you to get a higher score/level with each post you make and the more people you can help. I know it sounds silly, but I've been trying to get rid of my "parked" speed reputation and provide some value to the community, either with questions, answers, ideas, etc. But the fact is that I remain of parked, at first I taught it had to do with the number of post I had, then that it might be due to the number of likes received, to later find out it has to more with the "speed post" button at the bottom of each post. Maybe other new members are not aware of this difference, as I wasn't.
EDIT: I made changes to my original post, and tried to summarized the ideas provided by other members, so it can be used as a quick reference in the future:

EDIT: I made changes to my original post, and tried to summarized the ideas provided by other members, so it can be used as a quick reference in the future:
General Info:
- Speed reputation is how other users evaluate the usefulness and practical use of the ideas you share through posts. User with the highest speed ratings, have achieved this by sharing their actual experiences and little tricks learned along the way of their journeys.
- Other member can help you improve your "reputation speed" by clicking the "Speed Post" button on the left bottom of your post.
- Members, should to consider that "speed post", should be used when the information provided by the poster, provides some real value and actionable ideas you can use for your own business/start-ups.
- If you just like to thank the poster, there is a "Thanks / Like" button on the right bottom of the post, (using this methods does not add speed reputation to the poster, it just shows your appreciation).
- Not everybody gives the same amount of speed. Someone with a "Parked" reputation won't be able to give as much speed as someone with a 250 kph speed, so attract the attention of people with high ranking.
General Guidelines for Posting:
- Be honest with your answer & question.
- Ask better questions & specific questions, not generic ones (what biz should I start? its a major no go, better ask about the specifics of a niche you have researched and would like to get into.)
- Read the whole thread so that you can provide valuable answers.
- Bring your experience at the table, age or industry background, doesn't matter here, it makes us unique and makes us see thing in angles other may not.
- Don't be rude or try to prove you're better than anyone else, the odds are most likely that you are not. Besides, consider that many member have years of actual experience in the field that you may want to get into. You may know see this now, but in the future, they may be the ones that provide the information you needed most.
How to improve your odds of getting people to help you increase your Speed Reputation:
- Again, stick your neck out and take ACTION!. If you've got an established, thriving business then your opinions and advice will get you speed as well, but uninformed advice and opinions aren't worth the paper they're printed on.
- SHARE any useful or actionable advice, you have learned from the inner workings of your business and life lessons. Your expertise, may come from different areas of copywritting, SEO, selling, etc.
- Nobody is here to judge you, open up about your past failures and successes. Things can always be learned from both sides of the coin, the sooner you share and learn from other, the faster you may flip it again.
- Show good faith, if you know someone that might help another users, let them know and help them contact them.
- Have found or created a useful, well-written guide?, post it and share it with the other members. Who know, it may become a sticky posts?
If you are an extremist you can follow Alana's advice (LOL ):
- "First and foremost you need to shave a dollar symbol on your head. Then go out and adopt a dog and name him Millionaire. A tattoo that either reads “I’m a Fastlaner!†or “I ‘heart’ MJ’ bumps you up too. Trust me…it’s in the fine print. "
