why do I have those stupid grey reps?

I just received a rating from a user with over 200 posts and the rating was grey. Why>

Maybe the member didnt have the required minimum of 5 Rep points too. ;)

See the link in my signature for all the specifics on Reps. ;) Its quite good :thumb:

Because they have a User Reputaion Level of 4 which indicates that they've received enough negative reps to put them below the minimum (5) necessary to be able to give positive reps.

Oh...

Thanks.
