Reputation colors

[readwithem]

I've just gotten my first "blue" reputation - everything else was green - what does that mean?
:)

[Jill, OK]

...that the color blue means that the giver of the repuation doesn't have much, themselves, I think. Or...they don't have as many posts. I think.

LOL...there was an explanation for it, but I don't remember; I just remember that the theory was that it wasn't bad.

The only blue one I've ever had didn't have a comment with it (all the others have), so I wondered if it was negative...but my points went up after receiving it, so I figured it wasn't. (Wouldn't the points go *down* if it was negative?)

Anyway, I wouldn't worry about it, one way or the other...but it sure is a mystery for those of us that are insatiably curious. :D

That's funny - maybe the count goes up regardless of whether it's positive or negative :) :)

I thought gray meant they didn't have much 'rep power'. I haven't seen the blue ones, but I've heard people mention they had 'neutral' as a choice. I've never seen any choices other than positive or negative.
