Green rep = good
Red rep = bad
blue rep = :what:
is it good or bad? it doesn't make the number change so idk

I've never seen this before.
The rep code, is:
Green= positive
Red= Negative
Grey= Neutral


Maybe you just accidentally highlighted someone's rep when you hovered over it with your mouse?
Maybe that's what happened.

hmmm maybe it's really grey and it just looks blue on my screen? how do you do neutral rep? and what does that even mean?

Could you take a screen cap and upload it? It may provide a better response from people.

Neutral rep, is given out when someone doesn't have positive or negative rep power.
But also, when someone has negative/neutral rep, and they give rep to someone, it will show up as grey, because they don't have any rep to give out, because they have a negative amount of reputation points, or none.
Same thing applies, to when you receive rep, from someone who has negative or neutral rep.

You were likely seeing the gray box as blue.

This appears when someone has their rep disabled, among what was said above. Rep is disabled in the usercp.

I'm assuming your box looks like the first box in the picture above, which would indeed be neutral/disabled rep.


From the FAQ:

What is reputation?

Reputation is a way of rating users depending on the quality of their posts. If the administrators have enabled reputation, then the reputation icon will be visible in posts.

Reputation may be positive Positive Reputation Icon , negative Negative Reputation Icon or neutral Neutral Reputation Icon. Negative reputation may only be given if the administrator has enabled this. Neutral reputation is only given when the person giving reputation does not meet the criteria set by the administrator to affect someone else's reputation.

How do I give reputation?

To give reputation, click on the reputation icon in the relevant post. This will reveal a form to complete with the reputation type and the reason for giving the reputation. If negative reputation is disabled then it will not be displayed in this form. You may not give reputation for the same post twice.

How do I know what reputation I have received?

You can view the reputation that you have received in your User CP (User Control Panel) where it is displayed at the bottom of the User CP page. Here you will see the latest reputation that you have received and whether this is positive, negative or neutral. Your total reputation will be shown as series of reputation indicators in your posts and profile. The more positive your reputation, the more positive icons will be shown. The more negative your reputation the more negative icons will be shown.

How much reputation is given? What is reputation power?

If the administrator has enabled this, the amount of reputation that each user will give (or take away if negative) is shown in the user's posts as 'Reputation Power'. The value of the reputation power is determined by the administrator and may increase over time depending on the settings they have applied.

What if I don't want anyone to see my reputation?

You can disable the display of your reputation by going to your User CP and selecting Edit Options. On this page you will find a check box labelled 'Show Your Reputation Level'. Un-checking this box will remove the display of your reputation and replace it with the Reputation Disabled icon. You can still give and receive reputation while your reputation display is disabled.

No worries, if one of them neg reps you, it's only half their rep power that you lose....
