"You earned 0 rep for being voted up on an answer.."

Question

I feel sure this has been addressed before but I can't remember what the explanation was. I've got quite a few of these as well as a -10 and the naughty step last night .

Is the 0 rep... thing because of some perceived wrong-doing or is it something else? Thanks, Im curious.

Answer 1

Hi birdland!

That happens if you receive over 200 points in a 24 hour period. That's the only time I've noticed it.

I see, I was wondering if I'd done something wrong as I'd been flagged for some reason yesterday:-)_ - lagartijaverde, Jun 15, 2011

Answer 2

Hi Birdland

You have a max of reps you can earn everyday ''200reps'' which means that when you get those 200 you start earning 0reps for any vote you get

You only lose reps in two situations:

1- you've been flagged on an answer - question or comment.

2- something is wrong with the system and will be fixed if you waited for a couple of hours

I hope this helps ^_^

Thanks for that fogwoof explained it to me and I accepted him. By the way, I've just voted for you and for the first time I can see a ? followed by 1 instead of just the usual 1. - lagartijaverde, Jun 15, 2011
