    I'm guessing this is from mostly newbies to the site, right? Which really sucks because they are those who usually need the most help and they can't even thank you for them. Jeesh, that's rude! Oh well.

    How long must you be a member of the site before you can leave rep that dosn't show up as grey? Or do you have to have a certain number of posts?

    a simple thank you in a PM or the thread would suffice:)

    This site was made to help each other learn about caring for our reptiles properly not getting rep points.It is a nice way to be thanked for helping someone but should not be veiwed as a reason to help someone or not.I have several nuetral points and still veiwed them as a thank you gesture.

    On the flip side of this, if someone is new and they want to neg rep you - their neg rep is nuetral until they reach a certain post count. It works both ways.

    I think even when they pass the post count the points stay nuetral.

    That is correct - the nuetrality is a reflection of WHEN they left the rep, not of their current status when they have added more post counts.
