Just what is that three-bloc​k bar thing?

I give up. Just what is that little orange bar that appears next to everyone's name? I've figured out that developers or moderators seem to have blue bars instead of orange ones, but the meaning of the three different shades eludes me.
(And more importantly, why is this piece of information not in the Help FAQ?)

Here's my understanding of their specific meaning...I remember asking about this when I first got active in the forums, and I was directed to another post (not one I could find from searching)...maybe this one will be easier to find...
The first bar is message ratings.  Nothing for an average rating below 4.0, "Trusted" for an average between 4.0 and 4.5, and "Proven" for an average between 4.5 and 5.0.
The second bar is number of replies.  Nothing for less than 50 or 100 or so, "Active" for anything between 50/100 and 2000, and "Enthusiastic" for more than 2000 replies.  To my knowledge, there are only 5 members in the entire forum community who qualify as "Enthusiastic".
The third bar is number of logins.  I think it's "Member" for less than 50 or so, "Regular" for between 50 and 250 logins, and "Veteran" for more than 250 logins.
If anybody can confirm/correct my guesses on those last two, feel free.
