Jul 11, 2013 at 15:53 comment added user9072 @MadScientist: thank you for the clarification, I am not sure I agree. MO could be somewhat of a special case, aslo due to the sizeable math.SE existing with the in some sense same but then also quite different scope.
Jul 11, 2013 at 15:51 comment added user9072 @BenjaminSteinberg: I was surprised too when it happened to me, but it is by design see mathoverflow.net/help/whats-reputation specifically: site association bonus: +100 on each site (awarded a maximum of one time per site) If you are an experienced Stack Exchange network user with 200 or more reputation on at least one site, you will receive a starting +100 reputation bonus to get you past basic new user restrictions. This will happen automatically on all current Stack Exchange sites where you have an account, and on any other Stack Exchange sites at the time you log in.
Jul 11, 2013 at 15:45 comment added user35354 I want to emphasize that I consider the problem to be pretty much confined to hot questions that receive a lot of external visitors. I don't think 101 rep users voting has any significant effect on the site at large. The post score is anyway a rather noisy measure, it can be skewed in a lot of different ways.
Jul 11, 2013 at 15:37 comment added Benjamin Steinberg I just registered to upvote Mad Scientist and found out that in addition to +100 on meta.SO I got +100 on Mathoverflow, too. Not sure if that should occur, although I won't complain since I lost much more rep than 100 when we changed from MO1.0 to MO2.0.
