Not Sure What This Means On My Posts

[Grant Mack]

Not sure where to post this but notice that in the right hand side of my posts\new threads\replies there is a small purple\blue square with the message- "Grant Mack has disabled reputation" (& other peoples posts on the same thread have similar symbol).
Can anyone explain what this means?
Regards
Grant Mack

Thanks for the response.
At least I now Know that I wasn't being blocked for be a Nerd!
I am a complete novice\virgin when it comes to these things- absolutely no idea of "Face Book" or "Twitter" but discovered Woodwork Forums a couple or more years ago and only got the courage to become a member back in January.
I do find it a very good and comprehensive site for exchange of questions and information and enjoy the banter and lack of disparaging comments about other contributors I have seen on other sites I used to visit on other hobbies.
Again thanks
