What is rep cap in the hats in winter bash

Question

What is "rep cap" in the Just Jesting hat in winter bash?

How to win it?

There is no rep cap. You just need to do the things that are pointed out underneath each item — Pekka, Dec 19, 2012 at 10:56

@Pekka - in the descriptions, it mentions rep cap. I believe that this is what sfah was referring to :) — Ren, Dec 19, 2012 at 10:57
I think we need to earn just 200 reputation to earn this instead of rep cap. See this — Himanshu, Dec 19, 2012 at 10:59
When in doubt about any term, refer to the glossary. Rep cap is mentioned there as well. — Shadow The GPT Wizard, Dec 19, 2012 at 11:01

The rep cap, is the threshold for reputation. You can not get more that 200 reputation from votes in a single day.

Whitout the repcap some people wouldn't have a life outside of stackexchange.

That's not bad. Higher user activity means less time to get an answer.

Rep cap means you can only earn 200 rep/day from upvote .. note that accept and bounty isn't counted.

But I suspect you will get the rep cap hat on just reaching 200 rep/day check this question
