I'm with you so far. You see the reputation drop by 2 here because you have both removed an up-vote and added a down-vote. Each of these things individually will cause the sum to drop by 1. > [T T F] > rept = 3 (its jumping from 1 to 3) > > These jumpings are common? or my logic is going any wrong? This is the same scenario as the previous one, so I don't understand why you identify the reputation sum as 3 here. -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
