What do grey rate up/downs mean.
Not enough posts/rep to affect you positively or negatively. I think if they're under 10 posts or under 10 rep then they issue gray dots.
Women aren't allowed to rate. New rule.
Well I checked it out... the minimum post count before having any effect was at 50. I've lowered this to 15.
edit: gonna take this opportunity to explain the rep power. 1 year, 1000 posts, or 100 rep = 1 point. So say I've been here for 2 years @ 12k posts and 1000 rep - my rep up/down power would be 24 (2 for 2 years, 12 for 12k posts, 10 for 1k rep). Unless you're an admin, then you're 30 points by default. Suckers.
39 right now. Probably a base of 1 given to every user.So my rates are worth 38, soon to be 39 points? Rad.
