The Member Reputation System page says that there is a limit on the number of times an event can occur, but it doesn't seem to be working:
This guy[^] joined today, and out of three messages has achieved -89 debator points.
Apart from being quite a "good" start to his time here, the MRS page says that message downvote only carries a 2 point penalty, and can only occur 25 times a day. -2 * 25 = -50, according to my abacus!
[edit]Make that -117![/edit]
Real men don't use instructions. They are only the manufacturers opinion on how to put the thing together.

I do believe there is a voting algorithm that is used - this is based on weightage / vote membership type of calculation.
See how ratings are calculated here[^].
The funniest thing about this particular signature is that by the time you realise it doesn't say anything it's too late to stop reading it.

If the like of I or POH down vote him it is -10 or -16 or so.
Our weighting is heavier.
Similarly, If I up vote you, you would get about 40 points.

Yes. That is correct.
One of the problems with showing the last few votes (reputation points) is that it actually kind of gives you an idea who upvoted or downvoted you.

I think this use to be the case, but now it is more like 10 or 20. As a test can you vote this message 5 (in the interests of fairness change it to a 3 once I have confirmed the value of your upvote.)
If Pac-Man had affected us as kids, we'd all be running around in dark rooms, munching pills and listening to repetitive electronic music.

Hi,
Today I deleted an answer I made in the Q&A section and then changed my mind, but I couldn't find a way to undelete my answer. The answer is still visible to me, with status 'deleted', so it's obviously not truly gone.
I'm relatively new to CP so perhaps the functionality already exists, but I couldn't find it; would it be possible to have a way to undelete answers (with a restriction they weren't deleted by a moderator)?
Thanks in advance.

Thanks, I'll keep that in mind.
For now I've solved it slightly less elegantly by making a new post.

In this[^] question, my first answer.
I've reposted the answer though, so undeleting it is in this case no longer needed I think.

At the risk of me beginning to sound whiny though, now both my (identical) answers remain visible, since I reposted the one I mistakenly deleted.

I can fix that too.
I almost said "Hey Rocky, watch me pull a rabbit out of this hat" but then I realised the majority of people here wouldn't get it.

So the rest of us could have a second laugh at the culturally ignorant among us. This is a problem because....
3x12=36
2x12=24
1x12=12
0x12=18

yeah, let's have another one of those plagiarism threads. It has been more than 24 hours already.
