@ObsessiveFOSS There's a rep cap?
aking1012
aking1012
i've broken the rep-cap once or twice
it's just not worth it
njallam

How does that work?

bounties don't count against rep-cap
njallam
njallam
So I would be capped if I got 3 more rep today?

@njallam Each day, your rep is limited so, not counting bounties, when you get more than 200 rep that day, it is limited to 200.

Well I got today

@njallam No. 93. Association bonus from getting 200 rep doesn't count, also.

OK, cool
aking1012

I didn't realize the Ubuntu Forums were running vBulletin - I would have thought it was running phpBB.

Why is there a rep cap, it seems kinda stupid.

@Flackbot hi?

@njallam it's to keep people from spamming answers to get 1 upvote each

@aking1012 So if I got crazy upvotes on one post?...
aking1012
aking1012
Doesn't matter. I told you the reason, not the things that get penalized

The rep cap should increase with the user's trust.

@ObsessiveFOSS Good plan, make a meta for that.
I'll +1 it
aking1012
aking1012
idk. i think keeping it the same could contribute to higher rep users letting lower rep users approach the threshold instead of banging out all the answers
ObsessiveFOSS

We'll vote around.
@aking1012 AU meta? Or SO Meta?
njallam

AU
