    Resolved [RESOLVED] Received grey gems

    Hi guys! I'm sorry if this question has been answered before (I did do a quick search and read the FAQ but couldn't find anything), but what do the grey gems in our received reputation list mean. Does it mean that I have been given a bad reputation?

    PS: Great work with the forums, guys!
    I use Microsoft Visual Basic 2008 Express Edition.

    Grey means they gave you a "positive" rating, but you didnt receive any points as their power is 0 (presumably because they are a new member).

    If they have given you a "negative" rating the gem will be red no matter what power they have (but the points will be half the power, so 0 power means no points reduction).

    Zero power negative reps are still grey. The colour reflects their effect on your score.
