  • And is it possible to lose reputation and how? Commented May 25, 2012 at 19:29
  • @ComputerGeek - You lose reputation be accruing downvotes. The reason you have downvotes on this question is because you didn't search through the tens of hundreds of other questions already asked on this topic. See Privileges and the FAQ.

    "And is it possible to lose reputation and how?" Read the FAQ, already! That's what it is for. Sheesh! Commented May 25, 2012 at 19:32
  • I think it would be nicer if people won't downvotes to newbies and discourage them to visit these helpful websites again and again. Commented May 25, 2012 at 19:37

    It would be nice if newbies read the FAQ - it even explains that downvotes on meta are different. You would know that if you bothered reading the FAQ.

    ComputerGeek: I know it feels like you are being picked on, but this post is pure noise in a already uncomfortably busy administrative effort. People took the time to write lengthy and highly informative documentation in order to give new users a way to find these things out for themselves and you have just given that effort a pointless cold shoulder. In short, you are being rude to us. I'm sorry, but that is the way it is. Commented May 25, 2012 at 19:44

Answering questions with bounties well is the fastest way to gain reputation.

Just ask MrGomez - he was worried that he was gaining it so fast that he posted a question.
