The user at meta.mathoverflow.net/users/141826/phd recently got a 100 point association bonus (15 mins ago?) even though they only have one account (MathOverflow).

Yes, I see that you have exchanged some comments about this. (As the question might be deleted, perhaps there's no harm in copying them ehre.)

@phd, thanks, I didn't know that communities can be hidden. (To those interested, see meta.stackexchange.com/users/hidecommunities/current .) — Joel Reyes Noche 2 hours ago
