As I said in the chat the other night, there are only two aspects of reputation that I actually think about: Those people who bother me about their reputation, and those people who don't. haha.
Just stay curious, use common sense, and listen to reason. *shrug*
Here is what you should take from this experience...You are the only one who knows your true level of knowledge and skill, and your opinion of yourself is the only one that should matter.
Like the others have said, it's just a color. Here one day, gone the next. All based on the moods and whims of another.
Just stay true to yourself, always strive to grow and learn because we can never know everything, and help those if you are able.
In the end, that's all you can do. That banner doesn't determine what you know or don't know.
ranking pretty much shows who is popular and not. the more popular you are, the highger a rank you are likely to have. i would not exactly go and kiss butt to get a high rank. just ignore it
Lol Tank! If able to choose mine I would take fluff any day. It would mean less meaningless mails asking for the keys to the universe among other things. Titles are rather annoying to me. They do not tell me who you are, what you enjoy or practice, or how you treat others. As for the idea of knowledge ranking I do not see it as being appropriate. I have met some knowledged people on this site with no rank, and some that only claim knowledge and have one. Then again you only know what you see of a person.
Its a "show what you know" thing. The rank is not that important. I've been up and down and up again too many times to care. We know who we are, and that's what counts. Blessings...
I love Awakes comment. However, in my humble opinion it is based upon knowledge and popularity. It is also based on your maturity as well. As mentioned above, just prove you're knowledge. Use common sense, intelligence, and maturity.

If you can not see your rating then you are not rated or have been rated fluffy. If you have a beginner rating and it disappears it is most likely that you have been rated down to fluffy.
Just like everyone said, you just might of been ranked down, but like Sue said the ranks don't mean much. They are just ranks....You can be a very knowledgeable but be still ranked as fluff, just keep on posting knowledgeable forum posts and articles and also live chat.
