What is the motivation behind capping daily reputation points at 200? Is it because the mods think we should spend some time with our kids? And eat. And sleep. And bathe.
And, if it's not clear, this post is meant to be taken lightly. ;)

It's one of the measures introduce to prevent large, rapid changes of reputation, which may be caused by external factors. For example, this answer got 144 upvotes in the first two days of existence. It's a good one, but the number of votes had to do more with the question being linked from Y Combinator than with the intrinsic qualities of the question and answer. The decision to not awarding 1440 reputation that quickly seems prudent.
