Same here. I stopped contributing years ago because my stellar answers were completly rewritten by the community for stylistic purpose, not content or typo. I didn't recognize my work anymore.

But i still get so much rep every day, passively. SO still sends me the top user goodies so i have mugs, tees, notebooks, and even jars of peanut butter.

I still go regularly to SO to read answers and i consider the site as a success, an invaluable knowledge base. I love what it does for me as a consummer, but it's unfriendly as a producer. And unfair. I should not have this rep.

They took all the joy out of my character too. First it was the swearwords because of corporate firewall, then it was the cutesy language, then the slang, the capitalisation and at that point I no longer existed as a person anymore.
