i think that the chit-chat posts should be dropped from the post count that shows up on each post .. but i dont think that the reputation points coming from there should be as well ...

i noticed this today about the green boxes ... for users who have been given no reputation points, sometimes there is still a green box where you run your mouse over it and it says username is an unknown quantity at this point, however with some other users, it is a grey box and when you run your mouse over it it just says their username. i thought that with the green box appearing it meant that someone had given that person a positive reputation and someone else had given them a negative one .. but thats not the case because a new member had a green box next to his name and had the message saying that he is an unknown quantity

so i am confused .. is there a difference between each ?? and should there be (like have grey dots for those who had good reputations and now dont or viceversa and green dots for those who dont have any reputation points) ??
