    reputation warning?

    I've just been to a web forum http://paganandchristianmoot.co.uk/pcvbforum/ that I've been a member of for some time and it has a bad rep warning. Why is this? considering that it discusses religion and is free from the sort of ridiculous abuse you usually get on such forums i'm puzzled about the 'bad rep' tag. For the record i don't own or admin the site in question.

    'bad rep' tag

    I have had a look at the site and the scorecard, and although the site is not really within my range of interests, I found nothing particularly offensive or harmful, and found no malware. Indeed, it is probably a good idea to present an ecumenical site for moderate religionists. However, there are broken links on the site, which might account for the lower 'Vendor Reliability' rating. The Wot rating is green, although the 'Vendor Reliability' rating is amber.

      Thanks Jazspeak. I had just

      Thanks Jazspeak. I had just installed WOT and then gone on to the site as I do every day, so to see a drop down ribbon with 'warning this site has a bad reputation' was a bit startling :). Could you tell me if an unrated site has a default rating of 'caution' ? If it is, then on the face of it this may seem wise, but could be rather unfair on the sites in question.

    an unrated site

    An unrated site usually has a grey WOT symbol with a question mark in the symbol. Hovering with the mouse usually shows that there are not enough ratings for the site. I haven't noticed any default rating of 'caution' on any unrated sites. If a site is rated as 'caution' then it will probably be because other WOT users have rated it as such.
