You dont have them because you are a premium member, they are called pips. You can even get new ones for your board if you want.
it also basically tells you how good of a member you are because since the pips=posts and more posts=better member more pips=better member lol
not really... more posts = spam... its often times your repost ratio that determines people opinion of you, like i have a relatively high rep for my posts. it shows that your posts arent spam and your a helpful member (and some of us know how hard it is to get rep even when you do something good around here anymore, like free massive tuts that you spend over 16 hours on to make and stuff).
