Has the amount of reputation received from upvotes to answers been reduced from +10 to +5. I only received +5 rep for each upvote on my answer to this question. Is this a new feature or a bug?

I suspect this is a bug because I also just discovered a -15 on the same answer in my rep tab with no apparent reason attached (there are no downvotes).

  • $\begingroup$ @santiago Aha that explains it. Just me being silly though although I would have expected to get a notification for being unaccepted. $\endgroup$

  • $\begingroup$ Not silly at all - I agree, it would be helpful to see such a notification $\endgroup$

Thanks to @santiago for pointing out the reason. The fives crept in because the answer was accepted and then later unaccepted for the -15. Strangely though, I didn't get a notification for being unaccepted - maybe this could be implemented.

    $\begingroup$ No, this isn't strange at all. The devs decided that a negative change in rep not be visible unless you gain new rep points that outweigh the loss. For example, you lost 15, didn't get a notification for it. You gained 30, but instead, you saw a +15 in your rep bar. This is just as designed. $\endgroup$
