    @OrangeDog The Hat-Hating Heretics, of course. Stone them! Stone them with stones! Or, just get stoned? Commented Dec 16, 2020 at 18:52

    Shouldn't it be one person per answer? You have some users who display multiple hats in a single post while others post "answers" for almost every hat earned and earn more "rep". In my view, for what little it's worth, unbalanced and unfair. Commented Dec 21, 2020 at 20:24
  • @Mari-LouA I totally agree!

    @Mari-Lou, yes, it should. However, it is only worthless meta rep, as we used to say, so it does not really matter. The Q/A model was never well-suited to Meta sites anyway, as they have peculiar voting patterns. and multiple answers from the same user are quite rare on the main sites to begin with. Rightfully appears unfair, but might as well live with it. Commented Dec 23, 2020 at 22:11

    @Mari-LouA A question tagged fun is a good place to hunt for hats, and well, some of them require posting more than one answer. The rep is fake internet points, the hats are temporarily and just as fake... but the fun might be real :D

  • @FrédéricHamidi Considering this is main-meta-rep we're talking about, it works a bit differently than other meta sites.

  • Maybe the hat-ers. :-) (I did not vote down and not in the review I click "skip")
