    I recently lost 50 reputation points for removing the opt in for the Newsletter. I was opted in for several months, and it really didn't have anything in it that interested me. I don't think it is fair to lose the whole 50 points. They must have also looked at my profile and determined that it wasn't professional enough so they took away another 250 points for that. I'm a bit disillusioned with the site right now..

      And so? You do realize that the points mean nothing at all right? Why does it matter to you if you have 50 points or 5 million? Do you think you get some sort of a prize?

        You got 50 points when you signed up to the newsletter. You lost them when you opted out. If you opt back in, you get the points again.

              Posting this useless rant in the Soapbox is moreover an invitation to be whipped further. Why do you bother? Reputation points are a way to measure your participation to this community. They are not a goal in itself.

              There are two kinds of people in the world: those who separate humankind in two distinct categories, and those who don't. "I have two hobbies: breasts." DSK

                Make sure you have filled out every field here[^]. Sometimes a field gets lost when you update your settings.
