Reputations

In your situation, I'd look to see if there was maybe a real reason you recieved the rep you got.

Meh, yea I know but come on didn't anyone find the word slimeball even slightly amusing? Anyway, I wouldn't have done it if there was a real reason which there wasn't.

Heres the post.
Heres what was written-
Go random-negative-reps!

And on another note I got a positive rep from Heren on that post, so the only real reason was randomosity. And even though thanks to the kindness of Morsul and Hookbill I got the points back I'd still like an apology. But I doubt the person who did will come front so I suppose we should let the matter drop unless it happens again.

Ouch Sleepy!! That's the strangest thing I've I've seen.

On a happier note, I'd like to say thanks to Gurth and TORE for getting me up onto cold Taniquetil. Thanks to everyone else who's repped me as well.

I just recieved a neg rep with this comment for my recent Crazy Captions post:

For the overuse of both Monty Python and the horrible Mapquest jokes.

Obviously someone doesn't have a sense of humour. People really don't know how much of a pain MapQuest is, even when you're just fooling around with it.

For the overuse of both Monty Python and the horrible Mapquest jokes.

Sounds to me like someone's rephrasing of "Random Neg Rep." Obviously everyone knows that Monty Python is used a lot, but it's nearly impossible to overuse it. And the Mapquest captions are right up there with the Gandalf uncloaking ones, they have to be done at least once per caption.

On a happier note, your welcome Glirdan (& Rune, belatedly). But that's about all I'm going to say because I don't want to get to personal in the open forums.

Call me under-educated in the ways of the Great greenblocks, but what does a grey/black box mean?

I've gotten red (I assumed was negitive being the opposite of green) but this is the first time a grey block has appeared. Could it be that there is some way to "rep" without being for or against the post? Or that the one giving rep is not quite at a high enough level to make any effect? The rep-giver left no name, so I am not able to message and get to the bottom of this without bothering you fine folks but she (I assume) did leave the message "sasparilla ... kewl!".

Anyway, if anyone can tell me what this mysterious new block is all about, I'll be very thankful, and you'll be my best friend.

A grey block?

That means Gandalf repped you.

"But Gandalf isn't real!" I hear you say- but that just isn't true.

And I would warn you not to try and uncloak this grey mystery.
