Why can't some members receive rep points?

[DoctorP]

Just curious, I was reading some posts and noticed that some members do not have the icon that allow you to post rep points. I know that people can disable their rep points, but the icon will still be displayed. Why would a user not have the rep point icon?

Don't worry about that. It's a bit long to explain.

I'm not worried...and I've got time!

Let's have a poll in Humor and Tests

Multiple choice question

1. It's been disabled to protect the member from stalkers.
2. The member got caught trying to transfer rep points in exchange for whatever.
3. The maximum rep points the system can handle has been filled.
4. The member is a Jelsoft Enterprises employee.
5. It is a programming glitch in vBulletin ver. 3.0.7.
6. You are banned for asking a sensitive question.

I vote for members that have been banned, although not necessarily for all the noble reasons of too controversial or receiving too many negative points and even after that ban expires.... /--:

Interesting list, Lexico. It could be an amalgam of some of these.
