What does this Number mean behind the steem user name ?

That is the user's reputation. Everyone starts at 25 and works up from there.

It is a number that is derived based upon a formula that uses the number of up and down votes a user gets. Post content that continually gets upvoted and the reputation rises. However, post copyrighted or hateful stuff and you might end up getting down votes which, from what I read, will drop the reputation very quickly.

Downvoting a post can decrease pending rewards and make it less visible. Common reasons:

  • Disagreement on rewards
  • Fraud or plagiarism
  • Hate speech or trolling
  • Miscategorized content or spam
