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.

Same here. I wish it would insert my sig automatically, or at least my user-name. I've never given a bad rep, but I have frequently forgotten to sign.

I agree with both of you on that. Mostly cause I forget to sign sometimes and I want to know who gave me negative rep.

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.
