I was just basking in the glory of my old reputation points on the user CP when I noticed that while most of my reps have a little green square to the left of them the last 3 I've received have a grey square alongside them (or 'gray' if you're reading this in American).
Is there any special reason for this? I couldn't find anything in the FAQ about it, and a forum search also failed to enlighten me.
This is usually because the person giving the rep is a new member & has no reputation power
Hope that helps.

Ah, so it's a hint not to spend time answering questions from worthless newbies and, instead, just help out NBVC with his many, many queries (although if he asks how VLOOKUP works one more time I'm going to scream)
Andrew, welcome to my/our club! )))
well, I do not want to be misinterpreted, but I think it's not fair to rcv "grey" especially if it comes from a user who posts for the first time/or has no reputation power! we are talking about "help"!
Regards, John
John, I hope to accept me in the club ..
Off course i angree with Andrew's words..

I think there is something for to the fact that the forum is currently screwed up... I too have received only grey reputation as of yesterday... not only from members with no rep power...Originally Posted by royUK

I received one rep yesterday which was grey, the OP had two posts. Probably is due to the fact that the Forum is totally unreliable though.
Hope that helps.

Actually, for me it seems to have started on Jan 20th... that is when I started getting greys from all the "new members".... that wasn't always the case or I would have hundreds of grey icons prior to that date.

And another new member for the grey (gray) club.
I reported this a few days ago (01-20-2012, 10:10 PM):
Re: Report issues here - AND NOTHING ELSE, PLEASE!
OK, if we're not going for the buy-out, back on topic ...
Has something gone wrong with the rep system? Or am I just unlucky? Or do you get to a point where you no longer accrue rep points?
The last two reps I have had have had little grey boxes, as opposed to green or worse, red. So, I'm getting thank-yous via the rep system (which is nice) but no points.
And what do points make? A happy bunny!

However, I got fobbed off (sorry RoyUK/Pike) ... advised that it was due to rep power. I accepted that at face value though I'd not seen it once in 18 months.
I suspect it has to be something to do with the upgrade.
Regards, TMS
I would still suggest it is due to rep power, but I suspect the 'upgrade' is responsible for the newer users having zero rep power. You can presumably verify this yourself by viewing one of the grey users in your Moderator control panel and checking the rep power shown in their profile. If it is not 0, then the forum is in even worse shape than suspected...
Good luck.
Maybe I don't have enough priviliges but everyone I check has 0 Rep Power, even other Mods! It seems I can only see my own Rep Power.

Oh - perhaps RoyUK can test it?
Good luck.
