Is there a way to see what a user's total reputation would be if, hypothetically, there was never a daily rep cap?

There is a data explorer query that can calculate this based on a user's id.

I managed to grab 5 different queries for this purpose but managed to overlook the one that gave exactly what was needed. Figures, and "rep no cap" doesn't even yield this in a search... Feb 16, 2011 at 15:36

That said, the query is suspect. It claims my rep on Stack Overflow would be 1608, but I've never even been capped and my rep is 1466. Feb 16, 2011 at 15:38

@GraceNote, it won't be able to count the -1 on downvotes you cast, but from your profile, that isn't it. Feb 16, 2011 at 15:50

I'm not an SQL expert, but from a quick glance at the query it doesn't differentiate between question upvotes and answer upvotes. And, consequently, the +2 for acceptance. It may need some major tweaking, perhaps with the aid of this query or this query. Feb 16, 2011 at 15:52

It also doesn't count bounties and doesn't appear to differentiate between wiki posts and regular posts. Feb 16, 2011 at 16:17

@Pollyanna, it does check the OwnerId and CommunityOwnedDate. Everything else I didn't catch I blame on not having had caffeine yet this morning! Feb 16, 2011 at 16:25
No, there isn't, but Jeff once said in a blog post that Jon Skeet would have over 60,000 reputation without a cap.
And this was over 2 years ago.

I recently read that post, which is actually what prompted me to ask this. Jon is currently at > a quarter million, which made me wonder what it would be today. Oh well, thanks for the answer. Feb 16, 2011 at 15:34

@Adam Jon Skeet would be at a whopping 750,000 points without the rep cap.– PekkaFeb 16, 2011 at 16:16

Yeah - I saw. If anything I'm surprised it's not over a million with the way his answers are (justifiably) upvoted. Feb 16, 2011 at 16:23
