I have 24 reputation points, but SO chat is still giving me the message "you must have 20 reputation...." Why can't I join the chat?

I got unaccepted for some question (I know this as I had 1360 rep yesterday night, and now I have 1345). According to  I should've been notified, but I didn't. I searched through most of my history, and yet I can still not find it.  Why is this?

Over the years I've been quite a lurker but I have upvoted several answers or questions that I eventually wanted to find back. As I'm below 15 reputation,  does not really apply to me, because in my profile that part is grayed out. So... is there a way for me to see that list?

This all started from the day before yesterday. I logged into my account and found out 2 reputation was gone. I checked my reputation changes, but didn't find any record. The same thing occurred yesterday and today.  What is wrong?

Possible Duplicate:          I just tried the new feature to move a conversation to chat, and got the message indicated in the title.  The whole reason the comment chain got so chatty is because this is an inexperienced person who doesn't quite "get it" and isn't likely to get a lot of reputation any time soon. Isn't this exactly the sort of conversation that should be taken off-line?  I think if someone is invited to a chat by someone with enough reputation, it shouldn't matter what their own reputation is - they should be allowed into the chat.

I just bought "Reputation to the max". I bought this first, because I really want to help the cleanup of the vote-to-close queue, which, despite the efforts I've been hearing about, is still quite large. According to SO, my reputation is now 15,750, but that queue still says I need at least 3k rep to review! That is clearly a bug!

Users below 15 reputation can't effectively vote. It says:     Votes cast by those with less than 15 reputation are recorded, but do not change the publicly displayed post score   Does it mean that they will take effect after I reach 15 reputation or because they were cast before, they're recorded but ignored?

Is there any way of getting to the first 15 reputation (at which point you can actually do something) on Stack Overflow other than by asking questions?  My problem is this: if I see a good answer that works, I can't vote for it (not enough reputation).  I have been programming for many years and often see a question I could contribute, but I can't (not enough reputation).  I so far have never needed to ask a question (I know how to use a search facility, and so can find an already existing answer).    Therefore asking questions can't possibly be the only mechanism to get enough reputation to get started, can it?  Because if it is then as more and more questions get asked on Stack Overflow, the need to ask new ones will diminish, so if this is the only mechanism of gaining those first few reputation, soon all new joiners will never be able to contribute, or will need to re-ask already answered questions (not good for anyone).  Advice on how to get those first few reputation gratefully received.

I noticed a minor issue - or does this affect the epic and legendary badge calculation?  I just open the  and noticed:  rep cap was reached via rep from upvotes *only* on 26 days earned at least 200 reputation on 23 days   That is impossible. My rep was capped on 26 days but I reached 200 on only 23 days? It would make sense the other way around.

You earned -30 reputation today on ...   The above doesn't sound right to me. It appears as the tooltip in the "recent achievements" dialog:        Can this please be changed to something like:     You lost 30 reputation today on ...

In  I see from time to time the indicator kind of resetting itself. It does not know anymore that I already &quot;confirmed&quot;/&quot;noticed&quot; the new rep. Then I see something like this for instance:  or smaller numbers. But I am sure I did not gain any or so much rep since the last time I clicked on that number. This happens whenever I delete a post of mine. BTW my internet connection is excellent and the websocket connection is absolutely stable.

How do users on the new Stack Exchange sites get started? Each user starts with 1 rep, and can't upvote until they have 15 rep.  It struck me that this creates a bit of a deadlock. If a new user asks a question and a new user answers, neither can upvote the other.  Are we relying solely on existing SE users to join these exchange sites (with their bonus 100 rep) so that they can get started?

The  tells me I can answer protected questions, but I still can't answer protected questions on The Workplace. I know it is  (also ); I have more than 10 reputation but the association bonus does not count.  I propose that the new user restriction privilege page's check should factor in the association bonus.

I was watching the top users and saw the honourable  with his 136k+ 558k+ 1M reputation. This man has a lot of quality posts and I respect him a lot. He deserves the reputation he has, like a lot of other people here.  How do you get over 200 reputation points/day, though? Taking a sample of Jon Skeet's profile, we can read that over a course of 54 days he managed to gain 13,076 reputation points.   Now, if we do the maths on that:   13076 ÷ 54 = 242 reputation points/day.  How can someone have 242 reps/day when the limit is 200?   (This question was originally floated by )  This question has led to a humorous .

Yesterday I had 3,606 reputation but today I have 3,592.  My profile shows that I lost 6 reputation when a user was removed, but that would put me on 3,600 - 8 reputation has magically disappeared.  Adding up all of my reputation does work out at 3,591 (I'm assuming by default new users have 1 rep, so that would make sense).  Somewhere a reputation change since yesterday isn't being displayed. I don't know what this would be for, but -8 would lead me to believe that someone removed their up-vote on an answer I'd posted which already had a down-vote (could it be from that deleted user?).  I don't know if this is a bug or if there is simply a delay between reputation updating, but I figured it was worth reporting.    Sadly I cannot prove that I had 3,606 reputation yesterday.
