Will I lose privileges if I offer a bonus and my points drop below the requirement?

Question

I am curious. I have 1,830 points and expect to soon have 2,000 and moderator privileges.

If I have 2,001 points and obtain moderator privileges and then offer and award a bonus of 100 points, leaving me with 1,901 points, will I lose my privileges?

Moderate? I'm afraid I can't do that, Dave.

Answer 1

Yes - privileged are calculated based on your current reputation, and reputation lost in offering bounties is counted. You would lose the 2k privilege any time your reputation drops below 2000.
