I got stuck in the gray on th FP too. I bitched about it for a while, but I have pretty much given up. It’s too bad. The beauty of these sites used to to be the ability to actually participate.

Just make some witty comment on a FP story as soon as its posted. Got me out of the grey the first time I posted there (luck maybe?)

I've tried that. I even got a response from the author (Patrick I think). So I quickly responded back to him asking to get out and nothing happened.

I come and go out of the greys all the time. No rhyme or reason that I can tell. On the garage posts I’m always grey even if the author responds. I’m not even sure how kinja is supposed to work anymore.

That's okay, neither are the developers

I used to be ungreyed. Think I was followed by Raph. Commented on one of his posts the other day and it was good. I don’t know... Not been thrilled with content lately anyway, maybe it’s time to transition to world car fans.

I got sent back to the greys out of a technical glitch or so I’m told. I usually keep my posts on the main site pretty neutral.

I believe you have to be followed by the blog/sub-blog to be out of the gray. I’m out of the gray here and on Gizmodo, but for all the years of posting on the FP on Jalopnik, I’m still in the gray.

That also explains why on some sub-blogs you’re not grayed, and others you are. I, like many of you, have asked to be released from gray hell on the FP before, and have been ignored every single time. Not all my posts are crap. lol

I wasn’t grey on Jalopnik FP until yesterday. Now I am. I’m not grey on Jezebel...explain the logic of that?

“Kinja” - As far as I know they don’t send people back to the gray manually, but “technical issues” do.

I really wish there was some rhyme or reason to how Kinja worked.

Someone knows how it works...I feel like someone wrote a story about finding him.
