@JoeFriend, so you are saying that if I want to continue to log in via launchpad, it will work, but in this semi broken fashion?

So you mean I just have to sign up for a stackexchange account and no more openid? Why?!

Technically stackexchange does not have threads because it is not an open discussion forum... it has questions and answers ;)

How are you seeing this? When I look under reputation on my personal info page, those two entries are not listed.

@muru, good one

So when the accept/upvote happens, it adds a + record to the reputation log, but when it is revoked, instead of adding a - record saying it was revoked, it just removes the + record, so the information about why this happened is lost?

It seems I got an upvote 18 minutes ago ( 16 minutes after asking this question ) that put me up over 20k and made the privilege actually light up on my user page.
