I'm fairly new to this site, I've used it a lot for research, but never actually created an account until just recently, and so far, it doesn't seem to be very self-explanatory. I wanted to check my reputation, but it's not labelled anywhere on my profile, I was thinking it might be the little coin with the number next to it at the top of the page, but I just wanted to make sure. Is this correct? And if not, how can I check my reputation?  Edit: Also, do you have a separate reputation for each community?

When I visit the reputation tab of my profile, I see a lot of stuff. I can make out some of it, but not all.   What do all the event types mean? Why do some events show an odd reputation gain or not show any reputation change at all? Why are some events sometimes highlighted in yellow? My reputation suddenly dropped, but I don't see anything. What happened? Why do some events disappear from my reputation history?

How many users have created more than one profile on SO to vote themselves on their other original profile? There are some benefits when you have more reputation and sometimes you don't want a single -1 vote on your question or answer. In this case you may have an extra account to convert that -1 vote into 0 vote and  upvote for each of your questions and answers to gain reputation. I think it is not a good thing to do as a good developer.  Is there any way to recognize this situation? I think there should be some stats in each user's profile about how many votes are posted by each user on him/her or something like that.  So how many users have more than one profile? How to handle this situation? I have not created one yet but............ I don't think so :)

I have read a lot of questions about reputation bug on this site, and all of them have an explanation, that reputation does not updating everywhere at the same time and in some period of time reputation display will be the same. But this bug I have noticed couple days ago, and it is not fixing. Look at screen shots:  Stack Overflow account info    Science Fiction and Fantasy account info    Meta Stack Overflow account info    Also pay attention at the number of badges.

Why can't there be (or is there?) a way to gain credence from one's reputation on one site to be able to do something on another (SE vs. SO)?  As someone who has long consumed StackExchange, StackOverflow, SuperUser, but only within the past few years posted questions or answers, I am confused and frustrated by the whole reputation thing.  I understand why reputation exists, but it is frustrating to want to upvote, comment, answer, or whatever, and be told you are not allowed because you don't have sufficient reputation.  If I had some new original questions I needed to ask, then I could gain reputation, but "the system" seems to think I am unworthy or clueless to be able to contribute or assess.  Finally I had enough rep (small by most standards) to be able to vote, and maybe even comment(?) on StackOverflow, based on technical questions.  But when I went to Stack Exchange for a question on OS X stuff, I have to start over with 1 rep.  Seems a bit like a slap in the face, particularly since (so far as I know) some questions could appear either place.  Yes, I have ready folks talking about exchanging bounty and how it is more difficult to earn rep on SE than SO, and I don't claim to know all about bounty and the ins and outs of types of rep.  But I do know that I feel as if I have to start over in each meeting place for technical questions, and it is a disincentive (for me) to be involved.  I realize not all (maybe nobody) will agree with my sentiment, but since I only have 1 rep, I guess folks' downvotes won't hurt me, right?

Since my profile will be deleted in a few hours, this doesn't concern me, but the remaining people may be interested.  We know the already famous post: . One may be surprised that it has too few comments, especially highly negative ones. It seems that the reason is simple: moderation. About 4 hours ago I've written the comment there, but it wasn't published. Since I don't see it "awaiting moderation" anymore and I see much later comments published, it seems to be removed. The comment was along these lines:     There were a lot of things I didn't like in SO: too positively-skewed   reputation changes, generally-accepted reputation farming via   answering duplicates which were asked 10 times, extremely low quality   threshold for questions, "accepted answer" feature implementation, etc. and etc. Looking at the recent changes,   things will become only worse. I'm deleting my profile.   Now, the question is: why was it removed? Is it unfriendly? Sure, but I don't see why it should be friendly: we express our opinions, and my opinion is negative. Is it non-constructive? Well, to some extent, but definitely more constructive than:     Nice! I’m (hopefully) looking forward to passing the 10k mark   If there are rules for commenting (like 2. You DO NOT TALK bad about SO), I think it makes sense to publish them (and give an easily-found link to them in the blog). It also would be interesting to know how comment moderation is organized.

I just noticed a weird thing in my reputation tab on StackOverflow.    That last question mentioned (but not linked, had to find it via search):   I must have amnesia as I have no memory of ever interacting with this post. I don't even know what xampp and pdftk are so I don't know why I would even be interested in such a question. 2 reputation points more or less is not a big deal, but the fact I got rep change from question I've never seen before is odd and I'm wondering what happened.

On the left sidebar, the first item of the menu is my profile pic + nickname. It seems to be a fake link. Wouldn't be cool if this link goes to my profile instead of doing nothing?  Or maybe, instead of a "non-link", display a summary of my profile (points, number of badges, profile views, helpful tags, etc..).

How do you put a card like this on your profile?    Which groups all your Stack Exchange sites' reputation points, medals and icons.    Is there a minimum reputation check for an Icon to appear on the card?

Note: I don't seem to have actually been awarded the badge.    I just got this message:    however, I'm still quite a bit away from the reputation requirement:    I didn't get a notification that I earned the badge, nor is it in my badge list. But I cannot select it for tracking anymore:    Not sure if this is related to     I did not get the badge awarded, but maybe it's just not that time of the day yet (does the tracking earning notice and the actual awarding occur on different schedules)?

(and everyone else's) is slightly misleading. Underneath my main account, it shows my Physics.SE badges and my total network rep. To me, it looks as if I have 13k rep on Phy.SE (w00t!)--which I don't.  Anyone think that it should be slightly clearer which is which?

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 ...

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.

I use my Flair image on another site, and I noticed that my reputation score there is not updated.  Since a picture is better than 1000 words:    Is this a bug or a feature?

I like the community and appreciate the great service it's been to me over the past few months.  Sometimes I want to show my support for a great answer or comment, but I can't because I'm a new user and have only 1 reputation. It seems like the only way to gain the requisite 15 reputation (for voting) is to ask questions?  Until now I didn't have any questions that weren't already answered by the community. Is this the only way? Won't this one day lead to no new users not being able to participate?

Looking at your network profile, there is no number anywhere in your entire profile that has a sum of all your reputation across the network except for the flair page, which isn't always accurate because it's cached, and isn't exact because it rounds. Yet, there's so much empty space on the profile page.  My simple idea is to list the user's total reputation and badge counts below their Gravatar image like on any normal profile page across the network (keeping the rule of only accounts with over 200 reputation). It would make it incredibly easy to find and I wouldn't have to go search for myself on Area 51 to figure it out.

Actually this was quite surprising. A casual troll in the Users Page revealed few users with negative vote. One example is here    Then trying to see what could have causes such a low reputation, I peeked inside the Profile Page of this particular User and was surprised to see a decent positive score.    Can someone explain to me how this can be possible?

Over at Science Fiction &amp; Fantasy, I answered this question:  (spoilers for Harry Potter 6/7!). This brought my reputation up to 10,565. However... this upvote didn't show up in the dropdown. Some screenshots:  The dropdown, showing +120 today:    My ?tab=reputation page, showing +130:    My /reputation page, showing the upvote:    So...  Why is it not showing in the dropdown?    This also happened with  - the dropdown is exactly the same as before, and yet I gained another 10 rep, and it's showing in all the other places. And on this question - there's no change in the dropdown. And again on SO - I had a  approved, which gave me +2, and... nothing in the dropdown.
