Two days ago, I first hit the daily cap limit. A bit later, I got -12 (user removed).  Overall, it looks like this:    Although, the daily reputation shows up as 190.   Is that a bug, or do I get something wrong here? (I saw , but I think that doesn't explain what I see here).

There are many Q&amp;A's around this and the best explanation of daily cap model is from this answer that uses . It is an old answer but gives a good understanding.   My confusion is in applying this model to my situation yesterday.    On 31/12/2019, I awarded a bounty to , since it became eligible for bounty (2 days after posting it). Subsequently, I got more upvotes (including one accept) which exceeded the daily cap of 200. I am confused about this-loss of reputation due to bounty awarded by me preceeded subsequent gain of reputation so going by the bucket analogy, I should have my rep adjusted accordingly and those 6 up votes (at the bottom of table) should have been credited (rep should have been 177 instead of 117),  /reputation shows this   2 219845 (10)  1 219884 (2)  2 170717 (10)  2 219621 (10)  2 219845 (10) 2 219845 (10) 2 218537 (10)  2 219845 (10)  2 219892 (10)  2 219845 (10) 8 219821 (-100)  2 219845 (10)  2 219621 (10)  2 219845 (10)  2 219821 (10)  2 219845 (10)  2 219845 (10)  2 219845 (10)  2 219912 (10)  1 219912 (15)  2 219845 (10)  2 219845 (10)  2 219892 [10]  2 219845 [0]  2 219621 [0]  2 219845 [0]  2 219845 [0]  2 219845 [0]  2 219845 [0]  -- 2019-12-31 rep +117 = 27089 --   It is not the 6 votes I am bothered about, it is more about trying to correct my understanding  or have I stumbled upon an anomaly?

I've just read that . However, there are many, many members who will never dare downvote anything because of that little 1 rep. (Besides, I think downvoting is not taken into account in the 200 daily reputation limit, but I'm not sure.) This has, as a side effect, that only really, really bad questions get downvoted.  I understand that downvotes remove rep from the people who receive it, so it must not be abused. But maybe users could have, like, (reputation / 1000) free downvotes every day?  Currently, the incentive for downvoting is a strong sense of duty. The incentive for not downvoting is OHEMGEE LOOK AT MY REP. And often, the latter is stronger.

Today I gave a .  This results of course in a negative score for today.   Since then I don't get any more notifications for new rep in the new top-bar on meta.    Only after resetting the rep indicator by clicking on it I get new notifications.

The description for Hat Trick is:     hit the reputation cap on three different days   I just earned this hat, but this is my reputation today so far. Note that I have two accepted answers, so I didn't actually hit the rep cap. I hope to actually earn the cap, but I haven't quite gotten there yet:

The description states:     earn 150 reputation points on three different sites (not including Stack Overflow) within 15 days.     I have 3 questions:   Does this mean that if I earn 150 reputation combined on 3 sites, eg. 100 rep on Meta Stack Exchange and 50 rep on Ask Different, I would get this badge? Does Meta Stack Exchange count? Is this being awarded now since it states 'within 15 days'?

Suppose you've hit the daily rep limit with two answers, each earning you 10 upvotes (so, 100 rep from each). Say, you delete one of those two posts, and then the remaining one gets 10 more upvotes. Then, tomorrow, you undelete the one with the +100. Would you get back that +100? If so, you've effectively received 300 points yesterday. Anybody ever tried this or heard about it? I know I'm not the first person to think of this...  p.s. I'm a regular poster on the statistics stackexchange, which is a relatively low-key site, so it's not easy to reach the daily rep limit, so I wouldn't be worried about stapling 100 points onto another day and potentially pushing myself over the limit on that day.

This was a question I originally intended to ask before .  According to , paying for a bounty will actually reduce your reputation cap. I searched more recent posts, but the majority of posts that deal with both reputation caps and bounty are about the reputation you earn from the bounty, not that lost from payment. Is this accurate to what actually occurs?  My main concerns draw from the following pool of questions.   Does paying a bounty actually reduce the reputation cap still? After paying a bounty, am I considered to "reach" the reputation cap after getting 200 reputation worth of upvotes, or getting a net daily gain of +200 reputation from upvotes? After paying a bounty, am I considered to "exceed" the reputation cap after getting over 200 reputation from non-bounty sources, or getting a net daily gain of over +200 reputation from non-bounty sources? Can tactical bounty assignment be used to aid in avoiding the criteria for certain cap-related badges?   There were a few other questions I figured, but they could all be derived from the answers to the above questions.

Why can't I give more than 500 reputation as a bounty at a time? The system won't let me choose an option more than 500.  Also, how were some users able to do so? On  the OP has given a single bounty worth 550 rep, but at the moment I have 844 rep and I can't give any more than 500 rep on a bounty.  Can you please tell us if this is a bug or not?

This request was triggered by the very recent blog post , which announced that now, also retroactively, the askers are given as many reputation points (10) as the answerers for each upvote. This does reward the askers, but also takes away from the answerers by diminishing their relative standing. As an arguably extreme example, suppose that Alice has earned a reputation of 1000 points entirely by answering, and Bob has earned a reputation of 600 points entirely by asking; then now Alice will still have 1000 points, while Bob will move ahead of her, now with 1200 points.   Apparently for reasons like that, the mentioned blog post has generated some angry comments (as well as approving ones).   In a comment at , Frank Conijn suggested to      "split the reputation into one for questions and one for answers. Yes indeed, a two-figure reputation."    This seems to be quite a reasonable suggestion, with no apparent downsides. At least two upsides: it will     be more informative;  make the dispute between relative merits of asking and answering completely unnecessary.    A  was asked 10 years ago, which now seems to have acquired new relevance. Most of the objections there were about, again, relative merits of asking and answering, which do not seem relevant.   The only objection there of another kind was this:      "You can't really do it because you can earn a whole bunch of upvotes after you hit the daily rep cap. So any split like this could be really misleading."    I honestly do not understand at all what this problem with the cap is. Whatever it may be, can't it be solved by using caps separately for questions and answers rep points? Or by abolishing the cap altogether?     Added in response to comments and the answer by Glorfindel:  (i) About privileges, we can just use the total, as is done now.   (ii) I cannot imagine that having two numbers, instead of one, can be considered a "mental load". That would be more informative, though. The suggestion by Liam Morris - Reinstate Monica, to have the two numbers only in the profile information, also seems good.   (iii) Edits to questions, as well as to tag wikis/excerpts (which concern tagging questions), would add to the Q rep. Edits to answers would add to the A rep.   (iv) For bounty, it may be left to the users, where to take their points from.     Remark: My question is not a duplicate of , despite the title there. Indeed, that question is actually about a very different matter: namely, whether bugs, feature requests, and discussion eventually get reviewed by a moderator.

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 ...

"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.

Is it just for me, or has the privilege to review new posts and late answers changed for everyone?  I recently started being more active in reviewing, but the rep requirement just shot up and I can not review anymore? The rep requirement has shot up to 500. Is this just for me, as a 'process", or has it been changed site wide?

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.

I just saw a comment that stated that :    What does that mean?  The OP was just stating that if you do not want to seem like you are "farming" rep, mark the post as community wiki.  So what does that mean that it is "dead"?

Looks like there is something wrong with reputation calculation:        +2*5 -6*2 = -2...   why there is +6 in reputation popup?  As @Catija said in comment calculation is OK in the profile:        Perhaps the issue is in the top-bar.

With the recalculation of reputation due to the update to rep gained from questions, there are a few stacks where I hit the daily reputation cap, where I didn't before.  Take for example  In the progress bar for the Epic badge, this is shown:    Mortarboard, however, has not been awarded.   Is this a bug? Or was retroactively checking for that badge deemed not worth the effort?

On a user's profile summary tab, the reputation amount (+/-) is shown, with the link to the question.  If a user gains 10 reputation for an upvote then it is shown as +10. But when a series of down vote events takes place for the same post, and the reputation reaches 0, it should show 0, but instead it's empty/blank.  Is this a bug or is it done intentionally?
