Oh and jhammons01, even though I personally think you're a very immature and bigoted individual, those negative rep points weren't from me. I RARELY give out negative rep, only when it's REALLY deserved (except for Jim and I, who go back and forth LOL). And I don't give out feedback for stuff from the Lounge. That's not even the forum IMO lol
I personally don't care what the rep says...your rep lies w/ the ppl who know you. I am curious, however, what the breakdown is - how many points = 1 dot, = 2 dots, etc.

As far as people that have a gray square under their avator, that means the pos. doesn't over rate the neg. ratings and visa versa, therefore your neutral.

Both of you are always so helpful 
Oh and FYI ppl, I know most ppl don't do this, but if I leave you feedback, I leave my name, so you KNOW it's me - or I leave a message that will CLEARLY indicate who it is
It's called having the courage to agree or disagree w/ someone
Internet thugs these days...LOL

Get ready for a neg. rep. point Ramy! Some dumbsh*t gave me one for no reason. The message they left was "Enjoy your red mark!" 
Thanks for clearing that up BTW. Jimlab explained it a while back, I just must have remembered wrong.

It's cool man...some ppl have nothing better to do
My 8 points should help clear that up in no time
Oh and I think I should clarify that a gray dot does NOT tell you whether it was approval or disapproval Gil. If a guy w/ little or no feedback approves, you get a gray dot. If an idiot w/ negative feedback disapproves, you still get a gray dot. It's not specific.
But yea, right now my bigger worry/peev is WHY AM I NOT GETTING EMAIL NOTIFICATIONS?! lol. And threads I KNOW I've posted in don't show up in the User/CP as being active. It's like I gotta search and hunt for the threads now... grrr

The gray is reserved for people w/ inadequate feedback as a whole. Ie, has very very little positive feedback, or has negative feedback (ie red dot). They won't affect your feedback score. Consequently, the better someone's feedback is, the more points it will contribute to your score. So Gil and Alex, that 7 or 8 point point bump you got...

-50 to -11 points = <User name> can only hope to improve
-10 to -1 points = <User name> has a little shameless behavior in the past
0-9 points = <User name> is an unknown quantity at this point
10-49 points = <User name> is on a distinguished road
50-149 points = <User name> will become famous soon enough
150-249 points = <User name> has a spectacular aura about
250-349 points = <User name> is a jewel in the rough
350-449 points = <User name> is just really nice
450-549 points = <User name> is a glorious beacon of light
550-649 points = <User name> is a name known to all
650-999 points = <User name> is a splendid one to behold

If I started the "club," then I'd try and get people to follow my beliefs about [race entered ealier] and act against the [race entered ealier] in extreme ways. If I joined the "club," then I would follow the leaders beleifs about [race entered ealier] and act against them in whatever way the leader tells me to. Now, just substitute "club" for "cult." Make sence? An example of a cult would be the KKK.

Edit: Opps, I thought it was missing from the list, but I found it!
"reputation points" are gay with capital G...strictly for cowards who "hit and run", as the initial poster stated
the only people who take them seriously are people like Jim Labreck, who take themselves, and this forum, far too seriously
give me another one Jim...like I care, you egomaniac *****

I now have -23 points total, it's a bunch of crap and useless random negative points. I wanna know who is giving these to me.

Mine are hilarious because the only people I offend are stupid people.
I mean, when I leave a note I try to be creative about it. I insult their mothers, their upbringing, their sexual orientation, whatever, but I do it with a little pizzaz. Mine are either "you're an *******" (which, by the way, thanks for the hot tip, dumbass) or "I like it up the pooper, here's a negative point for you".
Since apparently people take this seriously I'm going to have to start leaving negative points for people that obviously have trouble remembering they need to breath to survive.

To be honest, I look at the lil square, especially when shopping in the For Sale section and getting advice in the gen forums. Between that and post count, gives me a decent idea as to their rep around here and wether or not their words are worth a damn. Thus, me looking at me, mine dun mean ****
red marks mean you've been in the lounge too much. I doubt anybody is going to hit you for trying to give advice; unless it's deliberate bad advice, like telling somebody to hit ALT+F4 to save a new high score
