Reputation Points - Blue/Gray?

[Ederico]

I would like to notify our egregio Administrator(s) that I received reputation points which appear as bluish/grayish in colour in the User CP. That means that those points are irrelevant and are not added to my Reputation Level, irrelevant does not mean negative, neither it means positive. In fact, from the Members which I was supposed to receive points from I got no effect, even if they give either a positive or negative judgement for my posts.

I had the same problem at AveMelita.com (which runs using VBulletin 3.0.1) and I fixed it, I forgot the settings I modified.

Obviously this could be volitional by the Administration. However, I believe it does not make much sense to me so I conclude that it is most probably something that is not meant to be so, so I decided to expose the problem, if problem it is.

I think one has to have made 10 posts in order to be able to give reputation points of value. Those I gave away appeared blue/gray in the User CP until I reached the 10 posts.
Another question tough - you can't contribute negatively to someone's reputation here, can you?

I think the gray point means that the person who gave you the rep.point
doesn't have many posts, and doesn't have much reputation either.
It's normal for vB boards to be set up like this. New members on a new forum, it will go away soon

As I presumed then.
