[RESOLVED] kiwis - grayed gem but not disabled

[dee-u]

This (http://www.vbforums.com/member.php?u=43978) member has a grayed gem but it is not disabled as some administrators have, how could he have gotten a grayed gem?

[Nightwalker83]

That gray gem means he has an unknown reputation of quantity less than 10.

So does one green jem. There must be another explaination.

Maybe the user has zero.

I thought maybe it was gray because that user was currently offline?

[dclamp]

no thats another icon.

[Nightwalker83]

no thats another icon.

I reckon it could be as you suggested in post #3.

[brad jones]

his reputation level is 0, thus not red nor green.

Ok, that clarifies it. I have only seen it in an administrator's gem so I was intrigued.

[Shaggy Hiker]

Administrators may have a black gem (reps disabled), but I doubt any of them have a gray gem. You start with 5 reps, so neutral is actually one green gem.

Oh, I thought this (http://www.vbforums.com/member.php?u=39381) one was gray. What is neutral to you?

[Shaggy Hiker]

What I meant by neutral is neither any positives nor any negatives, which would be a rep of 5, and a single green gem. JPync has a black gem (reps are disabled), but the OP was asking about a gray gem, which means a rep of 0, which is -5 away from no reps at all.

[dee-u]

I would have thought that 5 is actually positive, 0 as neutral and less than zero as negatives. :) I mistook the two gems as having the same color so I compared them, sorry about that, they quite look really the same anyway.
