- 2+1 but I think a cap of 2 rep per day is pretty stingy. Maybe it should be higher for your own comments, and the cap proportionate to the number of comments you have out in the system. Then I could dedicate an hour or a day to cleaning up my own comments (still subject to some cap) rather than only having enough motivation to clean up 2 per day (I'll never catch up in that case).Aaron Bertrand– Aaron Bertrand Staff2013-05-15 16:41:57 +00:00Commented May 15, 2013 at 16:41
- I was thinking no rep at all for flagging your own comments, unless you could stop folk commenting and deleting just for the rep?Jack Douglas– Jack Douglas2013-05-15 17:08:09 +00:00Commented May 15, 2013 at 17:08
- Well maybe the comment has to exist for a certain time period, or survive an edit to the post it belongs to, and the chance for rep goes away when another person flags it. I don't know, I haven't really thought it all through, but I think any solution that involves rep has the opportunity for elaborate gaming.Aaron Bertrand– Aaron Bertrand Staff2013-05-15 17:11:03 +00:00Commented May 15, 2013 at 17:11

How to Tag
A tag is a keyword or label that categorizes your question with other, similar questions. Choose one or more (up to 5) tags that will help answerers to find and interpret your question.
- complete the sentence: my question is about...
- use tags that describe things or concepts that are essential, not incidental to your question
- favor using existing popular tags
- read the descriptions that appear below the tag
If your question is primarily about a topic for which you can't find a tag:
- combine multiple words into single-words with hyphens (e.g. stack-overflow), up to a maximum of 35 characters
- creating new tags is a privilege; if you can't yet create a tag you need, then post this question without it, then ask the community to create it for you
