i got a grey rep

[EpsilonX]

what does that mean?

[Jaykub]

I've never heard of grey rep. Maybe linux can answer your question.

Here's what it looks like: http://www.gamers-forum.com/images/reputation/reputation_balance.gif

:O looks like a little lego block!

I got that before.
I think its when you get rep from someone with no rep power?

or something lol

[EpsilonX]

a rep that counts for nothing? Boo!

[LiNuX]

lemon is closest. It's usually from someone new. 0 Rep power. Doesn't affect rep either way.

[EpsilonX]

Yea, that's what i was thinking. If that user gets more rep power does it start to count for something?

[LiNuX]

That gray rep won't change, it'll still be 0. If the user gives you more rep in the future when he gets power, then those will count for something.

I believe that someone with negative rep also has a rep power of 0, so if you get repped by someone with a red bar you'll see it show up as a grey bar, too. (Correct me if I'm wrong, Linux!)

That'd be cool if, when somebody with a red bar gives you negative rep, it actually gives you positive. xD

Well...no. Reputation level and reputation power are separate.

Curious.. I coulda sworn this happened to me but it was a long time ago and I can't dig back for evidence of it. I'll take your word that it isn't the case, you would know better than anyone else here ;)

If that happened to you, then the explanation I have is that the user who had negative rep was also a new user who did something bad to get the negative rep but hasn't been a member long enough to gather any rep power.
