So how come my reputation total still goes up?

This node suggests you had around 13,000 experience points as at May 4 2013, while this one indicates you had 16,251 experience points as at Jan 15 2015 - a gain of over 3000 xp in less than two years. Congratulations!

However ... be warned that on 1st April 2018 you had 16,412 experience points, while today you are down to just 16,357, a loss of 55. So, if you don't lift your game, you'll be down to zero in a mere sixty two years. Let that be a warning to you.

Update: July 4 2018: 16,298 xp. Aug 1 2018: 16,207 xp.

Update: July 12 2020: 16,166 xp.

Update: December 12 2020: 16,180 xp. (posted 4 nodes since July 12 with rep: -11, -13, -15, -11). XP increase of 14, despite sum of posted nodes being -50 ... so he must be logging in and upvoting nodes to get XP?

Update: October 7 2021: 16,173 xp. From 4669 posts. (posted 11 nodes since December 12 2020 all with negative rep)

• Are you posting in the right place? Check out Where do I post X? to know for sure.
• Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags. Currently these include the following:

  <code> <a> <b> <big> <blockquote> <br /> <dd> <dl> <dt> <em> <font> <h1> <h2> <h3> <h4> <h5> <h6> <hr /> <i> <li> <nbsp> <ol> <p> <small> <strike> <strong> <sub> <sup> <table> <td> <th> <tr> <tt> <u> <ul>

• Snippets of code should be wrapped in <code> tags not <pre> tags. In fact, <pre> tags should generally be avoided. If they must be used, extreme care should be taken to ensure that their contents do not have long lines (<70 chars), in order to prevent horizontal scrolling (and possible janitor intervention).
• Want more info? How to link or How to display code and escape characters are good places to start.
