Appearently I gave someone negative rep here from a message I received on my CP. This was a complete accident. I appologize to whom ever I did this too. Can the admin fix this problem? I was only giving out positive rep. I'm not sure what happened??? HELP!

It might not have been a negative rep! I thought someone had also given me a negative rep by mistake, as I was used to seeing a green square - apparently if someone new-ish to the forum gives a positive rep, the square is black instead of green, so maybe that's what it was? Confused me, I can tell you. :)

Confused me, I can tell you. :)Ros is correct. New members can not give negative or positive reputation. They will show up in the karma log as a black square (neutral). To my knowledge, you can not see a list of people you repped, only a list of people who gave you reputation. Someone new must have tried to give you reputation. Support members can see who gave them reputation.
On another note, if you have a question of a technical nature (e.g. how K4L works), make a thread in the "Report and suggestion" section, not just a random thread. Posts moved to new thread.

Makes a bit of sense ^_^
Remember I was really new to the forum, and tried repping Bobh..
(apparently it seemed to him as if I had given him negative rep..)
Didn't know of neutral rep and such
Long time, no see, Bardock.
Negative rep is red, neutral is black, positive is green.

Thanks for the info. Someone in my CP said "thanks alot for the negative rep, what's your problem?" So I figured I did something wrong and someone is mad at me.

In that case, I'd say that person needs to mellow out or something. It's perfectly okay to hand out negative reputation for a post that is counterproductive to the debate (I get it from time to time, and it doesn't bother me in the least). If negative rep is such a big problem, the proper way to handle it, is to confront the other person (if you can) or possibly contact a moderator if you need a mediator, but not to just give negative rep back in return, as a form of vengeance. Support members should already know this.
