Already a question and answer for this, but recently I see q&a that have positive votes, so having -3 votes can't be the reason. Anybody like to enlighten?
(like this one: 1964 JB Hutto Airline Res-o-glass body composition)

1It's a bit difficult to guess without screenshot, but if it's on the question list, then the biggest possibility is that the question is on your ignored tags... if it's on the Q&A page itself, then the question might be deleted when you're reading it (small chance because you said the Q&A have positive votes).– Andrew T.Commented Apr 15, 2019 at 10:44

I've noticed this on the low-scoring posts, but I've yet to see it on any positively-scored posts. I think the general rule is -3 score or below, but there must be some exceptions or something.– user45266Commented Apr 15, 2019 at 17:43

1Can you post a screenshot. I have various reasons for things being greyed out on some sites, and Andrew has listed the ones I would expect– Doktor Mayhem ModCommented Apr 15, 2019 at 18:15

@DoktorMayhem - right now, the post eludes me, bt as soon as one appears, I'll earmark it for you.– TimCommented Apr 15, 2019 at 18:34

1Yeah - just pop it here and ping me, or in chat, and I'll have a good look– Doktor Mayhem ModCommented Apr 15, 2019 at 18:34

@DoktorMayhem - '1964 JB Hutto...' is the latest greyed out - with+2 votes.– TimCommented Apr 16, 2019 at 7:22

There's one greyed with 2 votes, on hold, and another with no votes. Still doesn't figure.– TimCommented Apr 16, 2019 at 15:07

@Tim Admittedly, I don't see the greying-out on that question, though... (the Hutto one)... Did a grey answer get deleted from it since you saw it?– user45266Commented Apr 17, 2019 at 17:34

@DoktorMayhem - ironically, my question appears greyed out now! But another has just appeared - 22 mins old, 5 views, 1 answer, no dvs. About guitar action. Help!– TimCommented Apr 22, 2019 at 11:25

I cannot see what you see on that specific one so I went looking.
On Sports.SE I have a few tags I like to avoid, which means I see the Questions list like this:
If this is what you are seeing then it is because of your Ignored Tags list. Can you guess what mine are on Sports? :-)
If however you see yellow colour coding, like this:
Then it is from having a gold badge for that tag. (Earn at least 1000 total score for at least 200 non-community wiki answers in the tag)
And if you see pink colour coding, that indicates deleted posts - you have enough rep to see them. I'm not going to copy any up here, but they should be obvious.
If you want to check on your ignored tags, look in the right hand side bar - you should have something like this:

1"yellow colour coding" that's the first time I've ever heard about color code based on a badge, not favorite tags? Commented Apr 20, 2019 at 9:23

It is tag based - that kind of badge is based on tag score. I have a gold badge for the guitar tag.– Doktor Mayhem ModCommented Apr 20, 2019 at 9:54

1Wasn't even aware of the 'ignored tag' list. So probably the other idea of my gold badge - does it subtly mean 'don't bother providing an answer to this'? Thanks for your support.– TimCommented Apr 23, 2019 at 7:28

I asked about 'ignored' tags. I haven't done anything that I'm aware of - so are they automatic. If not, how do I restore all tags?– TimCommented Apr 26, 2019 at 9:30
