    Hi guys,

    What does a black box in the list with left reputations mean? I would say that it's a negative rep but I have received one and it is with a "thank you" message plus it doesn't change my overall rep score at all. So I have been wondering what is its meaning...

    Black = Grey rep is neutral.

    It is either given you in some offtopic board such as General Chat or Introductions or from a member who is new and has less or 10 reputation points.

    Thanks for your explanation! It should be the latter case.

    I just realised, the rep system is worse than bloody the kryptonite from smallville.

    I assume you mean grey...it means it was given to you in the general chat section (and so is worth nothing)

    In the General Chat etc, it takes higher reputation power to red or green someone, if you do not have that reputation power it ends up grey which is neutral

    It was not in General Chat but I suppose that maybe the guy/gal who has left it is a new user.
