Thread: What happened?

I tried to give Catawba rep a day ago, and he reports that it was neg rep. How did I inadvertently do that? :O I have never, ever given anybody here, or elsewhere, negative rep, and I have no idea how one does that. So can somebody explain what I did wrong? I am scared of giving anybody rep now in case it turns out to be neg rep. :\

You must have clicked 'I Disapprove' by mistake. I made it positive rep instead of negative.

Thank heaps for that. I can be really dumb at times. :O

I got a 'neutral' rep once. Not a red dot but a grey one. How does that happen, Chase?

The person who gave it to you probably didn't have enough posts for their reputation comments to have any effect. You must have a certain number of posts for your reputation comments to be weighted, and members who have been registered for a longer period of time, have a high number of posts and have a high reputation themselves have more "reputation power."

I got a red one as well, with a positive comment.

I am not complaining, i like a bit of variety, but it doesn't seem to match.
Is there a ghost in the machine?

Like Leo, they probably made a mistake...

Like Tuesday said, it's probably a mistake. I can change it if you want me to...

Well there's a reputation log in the admin control panel. You can see someone's reputation by the number of green pips they have.
