Probably because the person who gave you the reputation doesn't have enough posts to cause a point change. Also this should have been posted in the "Forum Help" forum. ( User must have 50 posts before his reputation hits count on others.)

Anyone know what the specifics are? The FAQ doesn't mention what the limits are, just that there are limits.

not that it matters but

There are quite a few limits in place to prevent minor abuse of the reputation system. Obviously there cannot be a flawless system, but these limits try to curb any intentional abuse. You must have 50 posts and 1 reputation point in order for your reputation to count on other people. Until you meet those requirements, your reputation will show up as grey dots (see below). Everybody is limited to giving out 47 reputations per day; you cannot give the same person reputation until you have given reputation to 10 other people. This prevents friends from giving 47 reputations to the same person every day.

To put it plain and simple the CD reputation system is similar to leaving feedback on eBay.


Instead of buyers and sellers leaving each other feedback (positive, neutral, negative) for items sold you can give reputation (positive, neutral, negative)for someone's post. As Greg said, for the most part it works out (both here and on eBay) although it isn't fool proof.

each dark green box is worth 100 points,
from 1-99 rep points you will have a single dark green box (or grey if your new).
from 100-199 its 2 dark green boxes
200-299 is 3 dark green boxes
300-399 is 4 dark green boxes
400-499 is 5 dark green boxes
500-699 is 5 dark green boxes and 1 bright green box
700-899 is 5 dark green boxes and 2 bright green boxes
900-1099 is 5 dark green boxes and 3 bright green boxes
1100-1299 is 5 dark green boxes and 4 bright green boxes
1300-1499 is is 5 dark green boxes and 5 bright green boxes
1500+ is 5 dark green boxes and 6 bright green boxes

Currently you cant go over a total of 11 boxes. Also when you place your curser over the boxes it will give you a phrase which represents the users point value. Also like Cory said, each person will give or remove a certain value with a positive or negitive rep comment. people who currently have 1 grey box will not give or remove any rep points when they send a positive or negative request. I dont know if there is a way to see how much each request is worth with out brandon doing some work on a new feature...
