Wow! New Badges on SO - there's more to work for now!!
I hit the rep cap today with an accepted answer that took me to 202 for the day (and thought I got one step closer to the new Epic
badge).
Afterwards I received a down vote and two up-votes in god only knows what order and I ended up at 199. Then I down-voted one answer and that took me down to 198. All is fine till now and I thought next up-vote will take me back to the cap. But to my (not so pleasant) surprise, the next up-vote was treated as if I had already hit the cap and yielded no votes. I've included a screenshot showing the last stillborn vote.
Is this how rep-cap actually work - won't you get any reputation from up-votes once you hit the cap, even if your net rep for the day was brought down to less than 200 by down votes at the time the up-vote was cast?
Would this be fixed in a future rep recalculation and/or counted towards Epic badge?
