Something that has been a topic of concern with some members is viewing neutral reputation within their profile. What I discovered is this; when a new member especially comes into the forum, they have no reputation giving power until such time as they actively participate, are given reputation, etc etc... which means they have a zero figure to pass. This zero figure comes up in the members profile as neutral. The only reputation that can be given, is positive or negative. Only moderators and above have the ability to give negative reputation, however; if a member has no positive points, then neutral is passed instead.
