I'm not sure if there is any change in SO rules or I might be missing something. But one of my  got accepted today &amp; I get +10 points for it instead of +15.  What is the cause of that ? How exactly 10 points are calculated here ?

There's a new popup helping you with searching, but one of the hints is wrong:    Searching for  will return answers as well as questions, and it's not the number of (up/down)votes which counts, it's the score. Better would be "posts with a score of 3 or higher" or "questions and answers with a score of 3 or higher".

Just wanted to see what the community thought of adding a reward to passing the review tests? Maybe a 1 point reward?  I know seeing the tests in the review area has helped me be extra careful when reviewing, but I thought perhaps a little boost in incentive would be cool.

On SU there's the  which is suspended for quite some time. And I also know that it is used for spammers, but how does it work? Does the account of the spammer get 'linked' to Deposit? Do the answers get moved there?

So when we view reputation, there is graph view. However, it seems to be off by a day. Here's what I mean:   I'm sure 70 + 20 + 15 is not 15. Its 105, which is what we see below:   And 40 + 10 is NOT 105, unless you did  :)     Anyways 40 + 10 is 50:   So yeah. Did you do what that post on codegolf says? Devs better fix that :)

While reviewing I came upon  by the OP of the question. I believe it was meant to be a comment to another post or comment that I have not been able to identify. Normally I would have flagged this as "Not an answer" and moved on.  But...  For whatever reason, most probably due to not understanding how SO works, the OP marked this post as the accepted answer. I have to admit that this is a first for me - I've never felt the urge to flag an accepted answer before, but I find myself being far more cautious at the sight of that green checkmark.   Should I treat accepted answers like this any differently? Accepting an answer usually (although probably not in this case) means that it is the final word on the issue at hand as far as the OP is concerned, which is why I am reluctant to flag it. What happens to a question if the accepted answer is deleted? E.g. is it placed back into the Unanswered pile? What about the accept-points for its poster?

Just a few moments ago I was asked to review this suggested edit:   I was breaking my head thinking what was actually going on, and I wonder if this is the desired behavior of the editing system.   OP asked a question; Later on he adds and accepts an answer; After a while he changes his answer; This edit come in the review queue.   I wonder why an edit of an own answer comes in the review queue. Is there a reason for this behavior?  EDIT:  It seems this is the same user or another user sharing the same name (is that even possible). Maybe the mods can check this out?

I have been member of SO for 4 months. I have a question regarding some functionality. Whenever I give an answer to a question, there is functionality given Add Another Answer. I can comment on my answer at any time and also able to edit answer. Then   Why this functionality given on SO to add another answer?  When should I add another answer?  Why there is requirement of multiple answers? What is limit of adding answers to single question?

After slaving away on meta, I finally hit the rep cap yesterday. By "slaving away", I mostly mean making an , but whatever. I got my first meta Mortarboard, and was expecting a shiny(?) black ribbon to go along with it. I think it would look rather dashing pinned to my fedora. Even if it doesn't, it would add to my hat-count, which is sorely lacking.  So I waited. As I know, it's always a caching issue. But alas, after a couple hours passed with no sign of a ribbon, I grew despondent.  So I waited. After all, many things around here happen at the end of the UTC day. I know, I know, apparently , but I had to find out for myself. Of course, you can guess how this turned out for me.  My next thought was to search for others with the same problem. The only post I found was someone reporting , which is obviously not the same issue.  Then, I thought maybe it just isn't awarded on meta sites. After a , I ruled this out as well. MSO being special and all, it appears that several users have earned it here.  Seriously, how do I get this thing? It's not a secret hat, and the description is brutally straightforward.

Here is a screenshot showing this:    Originally I thought it was due to the  today, but on most if not all of these sites, I had 200 rep or more both before and after the recalculation.  Is everybody getting this effect in their notifications?

I was just chatting on the Ask Different chat - and the reputation numbers for me and the others chatting don't seem to match any other reputation count I can see on the sites here.  Is there some calculation being made? These numbers are the highest of any other combined reputation I have seen. For me - I'm listed over 10k - but no other aggregate reputation counter I can see is above 8k.  Perhaps I'm unaware how reputation is calculated, but the people there suggested a bug report in case this isn't intended.  (after three lines of text are drawn - a number shows beneath our icons in the left hand side)

First this question is not a dupe of:    Though the upvotes show it's an issue: I'm not seeing things.  My question concerns specifically someone with 20K+ rep being eligible for the "moderator" status (you could vote for him on SO as a moderator, which I didn't).  I've seen post where that person changed the entire question so that it fits an answer "because then it adds value". The logic behind the edit being "so it gets referenced in Google (and is searchable directly in SO) and if someone search for the question that fits the answer, then we have an answer".  I don't disagree that from that standpoint it seems to make some sense.  But the problem is that it makes the original poster very uncomfortable: why would such a poster come back to SO if it's to see his question completely distorted?  Also, why would people answering then getting zero votes or downvoted be motivated to answer more questions when they know the question may get completely modified?  In another case, and this has been the subject of a post here on meta that generated some heat, same 20K+ rep person simply didn't understand the question. So he modified it to a question where he portrayed the user as making something illegal or questionable and the user got downvoted to oblivion. The user left SO and went ballistic on Usenet and on blogs about SO.  This is not good in my opinion because, sure, you completely rewrite questions to make it fit your own view of the world but it's detrimental to existing SO users.  Both to the original poster who asked the question and to people answering the correct question (with the correct meaning, before the crazy edit took place completely changing the question) and to commenters, which often go crazy in comments because they dislike the edit.  That user never edited one of my question, but I was reading a weird series of 20 comments and understood that obviously there was an issue at work and when I saw the name of the editor I thought "oh no, it's him once again".  So my question is simple: what do I do when I think that a user with 20K+ rep is acting in an unacceptable manner, frequently entering into arguments in comments with various SO users and often re-inventing questions?  In other words: what has been put in place in the SO platform to prevent people at the very top (being eligible for meta-moderator status, I don't know how you call this) from subverting the platform?  We could push the logic a bit further: why not write random question, random answers, random upvotes and then after a few days rewrite the question so that it matches the answer with the most vote?  Isn't there really a very serious issue here?  Once again, it's obviously not the first time the subject comes up, the problem is so obvious that it has prompted question here like "mark a user as not being able to edit your question" that I linked to above and it also prompted several blog entries criticizing SO.  I don't dare to flag his comments defending his own crazy edits because I'm thinking "maybe he's meta-moderator now, so he'll see my flag and start editing my own questions to make me look a stupid poster".  It's even worse than that: right now I'm thinking "but why ask question as to how to deal with this and make stackexchange a better platform, because my post may be edited anyway to completely distort my question?".  That is how bad it is. I found it (and it's just an opinion) a bit disgusting.  To make a bad analogy, it's a bit like when you give to much power to someone who turns out to be a bad cop. This is an issue. It has to be dealt with. But it is very difficult to deal with a bad cop once he's near the top of its sphere of influence.

"Good morning.  Here is something awesome that you got last night!", said the Top Bar:    "21?  That must be two answer upvotes and, um, an answer that I downvoted that was deleted?", I thought.  Ok, let's look at the details and find out:    The +20 on my egrep answer is new and I've seen the other Achievements on the list, so where did the extra +1 come from?  In order to avoid confusion, the recent reputation changes in the dropdown should add up to the number in the notification.      I suspect this particular case is a bug.  Assuming the +1 is a downvote reversed by an answer deletion, I could see the argument for excluding it from the Achievements dropdown.  After all, it's not exactly something you accomplished.  Except it kinda is.  Part of the reason for downvoting is to  low-quality content.  The ultimate sign that such content was deemed beneath community standards is when it gets deleted.  I'm not sure that we should , but putting a note in your achievements in such cases seems like it would reinforce positive (albeit negative) behaviour.  This question is a feature request that rep gains from deleted downvotes be listed in the Achievements dialog, without getting into broader issues of displaying other activity on deleted posts such as those discussed in .  Thus, this is not intended to completely address the issue of the Achievements sum not adding up, but is intended to help encourage good community moderation by appropriate downvoting of low-quality content.

Not sure if it is a bug or not, but it feels like a bug to me. When I got to 200 rep on SO the other day I got +100 rep to all my accounts including SO. So my rep jumped up to 300 on SO.  Considering there are others on SO with rep between 200 and 300 I think it is possible that the +100 was supposed to apply only to the linked accounts, not to the account with 200+.

I already commented on this issue in . Compare all time number edits in  and the number of . 16 people should have been awarded the badge, but only 5 are awarded. So it seems that reported number of edits possibly includes self-edits. Am I right? If it is so, is it feasible to include them? If it is not so, what kind of edits are included?

The definition of the :     Up voted 100 competing answers   doesn't specify whether each upvote on competing answers to the same question counts towards this criteria, or if it's limited to one "point" per question no matter how many additional competing answers you upvote. Can someone explain how it works?

I don't know how I did manage to do it.  I just ... Oh wait, did I do it actually? I actually simply approved it! You can see it . Apparently, I made no changes myself.  But now I'm struggling to understand how exactly was I able to do it, because in 79% of cases I am greeted with this message:        and in another 20%, this faked "improve" goes through (while I don't change completely anything) and I can haz a binding approval vote :D  And in other 1%,  it when I clicked improve (now I know ).  So it's definitely a bug, but I can't find the exact way of reproing.  Note: earlier there was actually a bug which allowed me to approve an edit by clicking improve and submitting with no changes, then it was fixed and for some time the message I've shown above stopped me constantly, and now there is another bug
