Why I gained 245 reputation points today?
@KronoS I guess it's also considered an 'accept' for the purposes of limiting rep, and not counting it would just lead to strategic accepting scheduling, but I'm not sure.

Dealing with answers that simply discuss other answers to the same question
Thanks, noticed that after reading it for the third time as well.

In general, all of these are not obviously not answers. One (Jim M.) is rather unspecific and could refer to the question, the others are essentially duplicate answers; It's probably just that nobody's flagged them so far.

Discrepancy in reputation viewed in Summary and Reputation tabs
Still, today's data from /reputation would be interesting, as it's chronological AFAIK.

Also, if you're reporting a possible bug, it helps to provide screenshots or a full explanation of what you're seeing exactly, especially for something that's very time dependent, such as this issue...

Discrepancy in reputation viewed in Summary and Reputation tabs
I checked your profile: My guess is that two up votes (worth 20) were cast before an up vote to the last post in the list, and the other 4 afterwards. Summary shows the most recent reputation events, collapsing some. It doesn't show e.g. today's chances, as the reputation list does.

Could you provide the output of http://superuser.com/reputation for today?

Why is "closed as not constructive" sometimes so destructive?
For the kinds of questions we get when we don't interpret the rules as strictly, see some old, now closed and/or deleted questions that were awarded gold badges in 2009 or so: superuser.com/badges/34/stellar-question superuser.com/badges/22/great-question superuser.com/badges/25/great-answer If you have 10k+ reputation, just check them out, and you might understand why we no longer want this stuff. For a site where people think differently (pun intended), check out Apple.SE.

Differnt PNG encoding?
Upload worked for me as well. Maybe just a temporary hiccup at imgur?

Using `Fixed Width` in Questions and Answers
Formatting is mostly a personal preference, and suggested edits with only minor formatting changes are usually rejected as too minor. Objective criteria which is best could be readability concerns (in this case) and how the corresponding HTML elements are defined and usually interpreted.

The [filter] tag is ambiguous
Related... How long before we get the filter tag again after we split it up?

When should a question that otherwise belongs on another site be simply closed and not migrated?
Regarding your edit: Beta sites aren't migration paths anyway, so you'd need to flag for it. Similarly, questions older than 60 days cannot be migrated by anyone. Also, it's not just about the quality, but also whether it's on topic and otherwise suitable on the target site.

@allquixotic The first point is also what's most broken about question migration and why Programmers and SF are no longer SO migration paths. Too much crap from people who have no idea about the target site.
