Other Details from Scutter
The vBulletin manual doesn't go into a ton of detail, but from what I can tell, the score you give when you rate a post is based in some way on your own profile (which seems to be a combination of your post count, your time since you registered, and your own reputation score). So if someone with a low post count or a short reg. time gives you reputation, it carries less weight than someone like Fenway. There seems to be a non-zero threshold at which the color goes from gray to green. You may have received rep points from someone who didn't have enough to cross the threshold.
