  • @apaul34208 I want to break the meta layout. Also, rep can't go negative right? I only lose 125 rep. Worth it to be able to say my question broke the layout of SE meta =)

  • That's only 4 digits... Actually Meta.SE doesn't have enough users to break the layout. At the moment it looks like there's only 154,878

As big as the data type can take (look at the second point for the meme) :)

i.e. This is basically infinity. There's no limit to how many up or down votes a question can take.
