@AlexisKing There wasn't an issue before, but anal people made one. After many comments, and me proving that their logic was backwards, they still closed my question, so I had to put a ridiculous bounty on an old, forgotten Q.

The issue isn;t even about losing meta rep, it's about meta folks being too anal to simply recognize a good suggestion
