Reputation Reminders

Admins - there is no need to take any action. I will cherish this red rep for as long as it lasts as it will always remind me of Bethberry's red face.

You're assuming a bit much, as it's an easy mistake to make in a hurry. Why, I have a neg rep from an Admin--only it's blue/grey on my monitor--which I assume is a mistake because the comment that came with it is positive. It's no big deal.

What is interesting, though, is the fact that you gloat over someone's assumed discomfort or embarassment, especially when it arose over a generous attempt to publicly acknowledge a good post of yours.

Wait, so if an Admin gives negative rep it shows up as blue/gray?

This is probably a, um, grey area. More than likely it's my monitor that differs from those of others, which is why alatar felt compelled to produce Exhibit A for my enlightenment and not deglutition.

No. We are not red-baiters up here.

I was thinking I'd seen on one of the threads discussing the reputation system that blue/grey boxes meant the rep came from someone with too few posts, or something like that. That might have been before the system was changed a few years ago, as that certainly shouldn't be the case with an admin. I'm honestly too tired to look it up right now, though.

My bad, then. Thanks for clearing up my confusion, Inziladun.

Although, years and years ago, it was the wont of certain Admins and members of ancient sitting proudly to proclaim their scarcity of posts.

I wish there was a feature that automatically informed people who was repping them!
Not because I'm having a problem with anyone anonymously repping me, but because I must be the world's worst when it comes to remembering to sign it when I rep. About half the time, I forget and don't realize it for hours.

So I cannot eliminate Admins from my witch hunt of who gave me negative rep. I have some suspects.

I am going to add a thank you here to whoever gave me positive rep without a message at all.

Much agreed. It's been a slow news day.

I apologize; had the ability to attach an image to a PM existed, this would not have been here, as well as your subsequent explanation of the issue.

Again, for more disclosure, what I personally thought amazing was that, after receiving this kind and generous rep from Bb, and thanking her for it via PM, it took *weeks* for me to notice that it was red, as obviously I knew that she meant it to be green (though it's now she may be seeing red, and not just on my cheeks). And I pretend to be observant.

Aren't you glad you started reading this?
