Is a rep inquiry an acceptable question for Meta? My rep just dropped 288 points and I would really like to know why. I don't really care about losing the actual rep (288 can be made up in a few hours so no biggy), it's just gonna bug me all night if I don't know the why behind it. (/reputation?recalc=true already done, no change).
@chown For future reference, it is... But I'll save you the time, and tell you it was a combination of votes rolled back (someone was obsessively up- or down-voting you) and reputation earned from posts that were deleted or migrated in the past.
@jcolebrand I was on SO via my iPhone, then 2 minutes later I opened my laptop, went to SO and saw the loss. So right now, on my iPhone is the main page showing 9375 rep, but on my laptop here it shows 9087
@Shog9 Interesting, thanks for looking that up. Does the script that checks for unusual vote patterns not happen every day? I'm wondering because 288 is more then I even earned yesterday.
@chown It does, but your reputation hadn't been recalculated in a while - so, for instance, posts like this one - deleted three hours ago, 55 points - would have factored into that.
Also, anyone remember the question where the question about "what do we do with questions where the OP asks about code but the answer turns out to be his configuration" is?
I have used wicket 1.4.18. Ajax is not working after filling in the textfield.
Java code:
Form form = new Form("form");
TextField<String> text=new TextField<String>("manualUrl",new PropertyModel(this, "code"));
text.setOutputMarkupId(true);
form.add(text);
On...
Well, yes (although in this particular case I'm selfishly waiting 10 minutes until I copy out the code for unrelated reasons), but I wanted to rediscover the MSO post that says so for future reference.
There's an MSO question about this situation. The answer was (I think) "close them as too localized." I want to find that post again so that I can point people to it in the future. My search-fu failed.
I've managed to break the addiction recently, but back in November I gained 200 reputation points on my wedding day, and on each day of my week-long honeymoon.
Would not make sense to remove the excerpt from the tag pages? That is already shown in the popup that appears when hovering the tag, where it is not truncated.
I mean the page that lists all the used tags.
In stackoverflow.com/tags the excerpt is shown twice: once in the page itself, and once in the popup that appears when you hover the tag button shown in the page.
Town-hall kinda soured me on some folks... If your impulse response to, "I don't see anything that needs to be done here" is "Better talk it over with the other mods", you're gonna waste a lot of time...
@Shog9 Unfortunately, most non-mods see these answers as a positive thing.

What is the definition of "too localized" for closing a question? I see several suggestions, but nothing definitive or specific.
I closed my spouse as subjective and argumentative.

SO is referred to around the house as 'that website.'
