What does "Reputation is capped at 200 per day" mean? Does that mean the highest reputation one can get in a day is 200?
Correct.
Then if one has got 200 reputations in a day, if she gets further upvotes, she won't be awarded further reputations?
If that's the case, people should upvote her answers or questions the other day rather than today if she has got 200 reputations today so that she can further earn reputations for the same answers or questions.

@CaptainBohemian No, not necessarily
@CaptainBohemian rep cap means you can get 200 reputation from upvotes
So, for example, the 21st upvote on your answer wouldn't increase your rep, but would increase the answer score
This is to prevent one popular answer artificially inflate reputation
Reputation from everything else doesn't count in reputation cap @Captain, like someone accepting your answer, or awarding you a bounty

@M.A.R.ಠ_ಠ so "Reputation is capped at 200 per day" just means the highest reputation one can get for her single answer or single question is 200 every day? If she has written multiple answers or questions in a day, it's possible for her to get more than 200 reputations in that day?
@CaptainBohemian No, I mean the highest reputation one can get from upvotes on one or different posts in one day is 200
I got 215 rep on ELL once because of the 200 rep and an extra accept
So getting more than 200 is not impossible
@M.A.R.ಠ_ಠ I am still confused. You mean you get 215 reputations, 15 more than 200, in more than than one day for the questions and answers you write in a day?
@CaptainBohemian there are different sources that gain you rep, and the "upvotes" source can only get you a maximum of 200 rep in a single day
@M.A.R.ಠ_ಠ what are different sources? I see the webpage of reputation leagues only says "When your fellow users vote up your questions and answers on a Stack Exchange site, you generate reputation. ..."
@CaptainBohemian reputation can be earned from someone accepting your answer, awarding you a bounty, approving your suggested edit, or upvoting your post
Upvotes are more recurring and rewarding, so they're considered to be the primary source of reputation
14:12
@M.A.R.ಠ_ಠ but you previously said "someone accepting your answer, awarding you a bounty" wouldn't lead to reputation increase.
@CaptainBohemian No no no, I said they don't count in the reputation cap
They don't count as part of that 200 rep

@snailboat Any chance of a reopen vote over on the dark side?

Q: What is the predicate in "Is he happy?"

AraucariaI am wondering what the full verb phrase is in the sentence: Is he happy? The plethora of references regarding syntactic (as opposed to semantic) Predicates, and the enormous online literature on verb phrases (VP's) seems to ignore cases where the auxiliary verb has been moved to a position b...

This was his reaction to the previous song you had posted:

@M.A.R.ಠ_ಠ The webpage of reputation leagues only says one's maximum of reputation increase every day is 200. It doesn't say the limit of one's reputation decrease every day. So one can lose an unlimited quantity of reputation every day?

Hehe.
@CaptainBohemian There is a cap. You can't go lower than 1 rep, unfortunately.
That means you can post bad questions/answers with impunity at the beginning.
Earning more than say 126 rep (you need 125 to vote down, and every time you do so, you lose 1 rep) is pretty useless, unless you wanna (as I did naively) edit other people's posts (2k), vote to close (3k?), etc.
Wait a minute. I can create tag synonyms? Woo-hoo!
The system trusts me too much.
22:03
@userr2684291 casting downvote to others' posts would decrease not only the downvotees' reputation but also self's reputation! I never know that.
@CaptainBohemian It's a double-edged sword!
@CaptainBohemian Furthermore, you automatically lose that holy privilege if you drop below 125 rep.
@userr2684291 but editting others' posts doesn't require many reputations but requires peer-review, right?
@CaptainBohemian Right. What I actually meant is that at 2k rep your edits aren't pushed into the Suggested Edits queue, but are applied automatically.
@userr2684291 wow! No wonder my posts are often editted without my grant. Sometimes I don't agree the editions they do to my posts.
Also, I think you can review others' edits then (another oppressively burdensome task).
@CaptainBohemian Oh, but Suggested Edits have to be reviewed positively by any two users (with 2k or more rep) in order to be applied.
22:14
@userr2684291 so if I don't agree an edition done to my posts, what should I do? Should I edit it back?
Of course. Especially if the new edit deviates from the original idea.
@userr2684291 don't I need to inform that person editting my post that I don't agree his edition if I want to do that?
@CaptainBohemian There probably isn't a way to do that.
@userr2684291 I can just comment.
@CaptainBohemian But they won't see it, I think.
We can test it.
I'll go ahead and edit your post, and you then try to ping me with @userr in the comments.
22:19
@userr2684291 why? the editor wouldn't be informed about the comments in the post he makes edition. I kept considering he will be informed though I have never actually done that.
@CaptainBohemian Yeah, but who knows. Maybe by editing a post you somehow get notified if you're mentioned in the comments.
Anyway, I edited one of your posts.
@userr2684291 then I will edit it back?
@CaptainBohemian Just try to ping me in the comments.
@userr2684291 or you just edit it in a more refined way so that I won't edit it back.
@CaptainBohemian I edited out an extra colon.
22:25
@userr2684291 have you done that?
I don't get any notice.
@CaptainBohemian Heh.
@userr2684291 that extra colon is not what I wrote originally. It was added by someone. Though I don't know why that editor added that extra colon there, I didn't delete it because I don't know if two colons should be put there. I am not a native English speaker. So I just let it be.
22:41
@userr2684291 So I comment now.
Alright.
@CaptainBohemian I got it!
@userr2684291 wow!
@CaptainBohemian I'll ping you from the comment section under my question.
@userr2684291 But I haven't got the edition notice.
Yeah.
I think you shouldn't get a notification for that.
I mean, you're not supposed to, by (bad) design.
22:45
@userr2684291 why? But I got notice in the past when others edited my post.
@CaptainBohemian Did you get the one about my comment?
Hm... I'm not sure about this stuff anyway, lol. But I think you don't get any notifications for that.
@userr2684291 I think it just hasn't noticed. It will notice later.
Who knows.
@userr2684291 I haven't seen any comment there. have you commented anything there?
@CaptainBohemian I commented on my question.
22:50
@userr2684291 which question?
About the position of elements on a website (I tend to ask about silly stuff).
@userr2684291 I haven't got any notice yet, but I am still searching for that question you pine me.
@userr2684291 Oh. I see it now. It isn't shown in your top posts, so I didn't find it.
@userr2684291 but I still haven't got any notice, including your previous comment to my post and this one.

You do get notified for major edits, but not usually for smaller edits: meta.stackexchange.com/questions/202359/…
@userr2684291 what?
@CaptainBohemian Just saying hello to snailplane.
@userr2684291 oh.
*snailtrain

@userr2684291 I only ask questions regarding what I need to write on important documents. When it comes to writing in unimportant places, I don't usually ask because I have too many uncertainties.
Your choice.
Have a nice day.
