and...... is there a limit of how many posts someone must have before they can give rep or can a 1 poster who doesn't like the answer cause they dont have a clue give negative rep?

How is it that someone has rated a post of mine, but it is grey - not red or green as normal?
After a bit of digging it transpires that grey means that the total reputation others have given to your post balances out to zero. This would happen if, for example, two separate users (each having the same reputation-giving power) had rated your post, one positively and one negatively.

Right. Now, I know this will be covered elsewhere, but while I've got you....does the number of points you receive from each rep, depend on who has given it? If so, I assume their 'power' is based on, in turn, their points?
Practically perfect in every way....there's a time and (more importantly) a place for malarkey.

I don't believe thats correct. A grey reputation does mean zero, but it seems to be caused in two ways
1) The poster does not have a high enough post count to have any effect
2) The poster who repped you is at least two levels below(not confirmed) or is negative (such as Gricerboy - you big loser!).

Seems to be a multiplier x posts/1000(up to a level). Where the multiplier is based on level above another poster(or own reputation).
