Q: What did StackEgg want to tell me?

I guess StackEgg was going to tell me something, but I am having a hard time understanding what exactly. Probably the font chosen is a bit too small to recognise what it was going to say or I have a really poor eyesight. Either way, may I know what it's saying?

It's april fools

time for fun and stuff

Yes... that will remove any doubt.

user259867

Hasn't someone proposed that reputation should age away?

user259867

So that someone who doesn't do anything to earn new rep, gradually loses privileges?

AstroCB

@Woodface That would make some people very very angry.

user259867

E.g., I can stop posting on Math altogether [I'm halfway there already] and still close and delete for years after that.

Q: What to do about rep inflation?

Overall reputation scores are headed nowhere but up. Pretty soon there will be thousands of mods. What to do? Thoughts on possibilities: Thousands of mods is fine. Carry on. Adjust the threshold values for high-level SO privileges. Do a straight-up inflation adjustment. You had x rep, then...
