It's possible that the person repping you (and no, it was not me) had their settings set to "negative" because the last person they repped was negative. From the comments, it would appear that they liked your caption.

So, as a note: if you don't re-click on positive rep after giving someone bad rep, all the rep you give will be negative. The default setting is whatever you did last.

See, I didn't know that because I've never given a negative rep. Thanks, it all makes more sense now.

Actually, neither have I, but that's what I've gleaned from reading around here. I suppose it's possible that I'm wrong, but given the evidence I'd rather think not.

That doesn't happen to me -- the default I get is always positive, no matter what the last rep type was.

Well, I could well be wrong (see last post of mine in this thread for reasons why). However, that was what I was given to understand from others.

Or maybe YOU were the one who repped Aina!!!

That's what I thought, too, since I'd never given a negative rep before. I've only ever given one, and when I did I thought of what people were saying here and made sure that "approve" was selected lest I accidentally give a negative rep... but it was selcted automatically for whatever reason.

That's right! It was me! *malicious laughter*

Just kidding. Like I said, I have only given negative rep once, and it wasn't to Aina.

Well, if you wouldn't mind getting a negative rep from me, we can surely answer that question for you. Or you can just wait from one of the admins.

Ooh it would be more gallant if I neg repped you... especially since you are so far ahead of me
