@MarcGravell how do chat rep requirements work now that you show combined reps here? Are you still tied to your site's reputation? Are you tied to your top reputation regardless of the "main site" you choose? Are the requirements based on the sum? Is having 20 accounts with 1 rep each enough to chat here? Do I make too many questions?
In case this data matters or helps in figuring the problem, it never happened until today, in which it has happened repeatedly (3 times in the span of the last message I typed in the lounge, along with the other points before and after) So if you need to check a timestamp, check within minutes of when that was posted.
