Question from a newbie. Are there any potential hidden REP penalties (e.g. not being active enough, too much self-voting, etc.)? Using the information in your article and the sites you referred to, I'm getting the result that I've lost over 60% of my initial REP points (currently have about 387M) even though I have received zero downvotes. Or perhaps is there something that I'm misreading in these statistics?

Your REP and reputation score will not decrease unless you are flagged for any violations (plagiarism, abuse, spamming etc.)Welcome @doughtaker! There are no hidden penalties to your REP from not being active enough or too much self-voting. If you're not active enough, your reputation score will simply stay the same. If you vote a lot on your own posts and comments, you will simply reward yourself proportional to the amount of SP you have.
