Question Grey blobs?
I checked my user CP because my boyfriend asked about the green blobs so I showed him - and I've got a grey blob? I thought you could only give/recieve green and red blobs. So what's the grey blob mean? Thanks in advance.

A Grey blob is a blob sent by someone who hasn't got enough of a reputation to be able to leave any rep for anyone else. (Or it could be based on the number of posts they've made).

Question Grey Blobs
I thought this was going to be a debate on the merits of using a grey smb?!?

Does anyone know if greys change colour when the sender has enough juice in the tank (I mean rep) or do they remain grey?

Are red and green blobs by a non repped up sender both grey?

LOL, Paul

Yes, they do. I got a grey one, and I know the person has more than 50 posts and it stayed grey untill it fell off the list. I remember reading some thread which said 50 was the magic number.
