The rep power you see next to the green squares is the power you have to change someone else’s reputation. Example – You have a rep power of 50. If you give someone reputation and agree with them, they will have a reputation 50 points higher. Now if you disapprove their reputation goes down 50.

I would assume the grey dots are neutral. This means that the person that’s adding to your reputation doesn’t have any rep power. They’re obviously giving you a green dot (for agreeing) and since they have no rep power it become neutral.

Hopefully all this makes sense…
