another "reputation" question

[buffy]

In previous posts, we've learned the green squares mean good and red is bad...right? what does the blue/gray square mean?

I'm looking at my past reputation points right now, and this is what I have so far. I am really confused.

from first reputation to last reputation

green
green
green
red
blue/gray
green
blue/gray


Now, people can only give good - or - bad reputation, right?

On my forums, everyone starts out with 10 points. Admins can give 10 points. I'm not sure where to tell how many points regular users can give.

Anyway, please explain the blue/gray boxes. Thank you!

the blue/gray ones indicate users who don't have the ability to count good/bad towards your reputation.

hmm...interesting. they are registered users. what would be the explanation behind that?

so a blue/gray box means someone tried to give reputation, but it didn't take? so it's a +0?

[Deaconxgp]

yeah that's what it means...they didn't have enough reputation power to alter your reputation good/bad.

Related to this problem, how does one change the Reputation Power of a Member? Mine are all set to 1 but I still get the blue/gray points.
