I just lost all of my rep and my rep power. When checking out the Member list, i noticed a bunch of other people this is happening to as well.

Any ideas on what is going on?

i've asked one admin and he didnt know, and i figured the other people that this is happening to might have the same question.
 
Yep they got me and Big Papa too. Nobody knows.......what's going on, tell ya what's going on......I'll tell you what's going on.

Just a guess, but I'd bet the rep meter is once again being recalibrated to account for the number of medals some users have acquired since the last recal.


thanks for the input

i guess that would make sense, execpt it seems to only be happening to a certain few of us.

yeah, I'm not sure if that's the case, just a guess. As for why it's only happening to a few, I don't know if it's able to be done site wide at once, or if it has to be done in small pieces... I just don't know...

That's pretty drastic then, don't you think?

And inconsistent too.....

Well, truth is we (and by that I mean every BKB) decided you don't really deserve any rep. :p

So last time it happened random users lost all rep too?

If the "plan" worked right :paranoid: J/K Like Sand said, it was a whole recalibration for everyone... I think it was something like dropping everyone by 90% or something...

the problem with the rep system is that it progressively grows out of control. The more users get that get close to the Rep Grad21 (Current Rep leader) has, the more rep is put out there, the more power is afforded future reps ... and so on... and so on... until everyone has maxed out medals. The last time this happened, people like 21, Mili, BB73, Me and a number of others had enough "rep stick" to give or take a whole medal. It's not that bad now, but I've noticed a number of users' medals creeping across the screen... so...

Anyway, like I said... I have no idea if this is right... just a guess.
