It's a "reputation point" sort of thing. I think the original idea is that if someone was helpful, or extra kind or whatever, you'd give them a kind note. You give them a note by going to the little "scale" symbol in the upper right of their post. You can also give negative points to someone who may deserve it if they're being a jerk, or whatever. People also give "beans" to people who showed of a cool mod, or a new set of wheels, but really I think the original concept was reward for helpfulness.
