Starting Rep: Machine 111, Zion 26, Exile Minimum

After running a rescue mission for the Machines, the mission log closes with:
"-1 Zion, 1 Machines, -1 Exiles"

So I look at my contacts tab to check my new rep
Machine 111, Zion 25, Exile Minimum

I am aware that rep gain is on a probability scale, inversely proportional to current rep.
I don't expect to gain rep every time I run a machine mission.
I expect, as most missions do, to be shown "-1 Zion, -1 Exiles"
That's typical at this stage in my rep.
I do however expect to gain rep when I'm told I have.

GM Rayol didn't even know what game I was talking about.
Brewko was on the right track, just thought I meant not gaining rep in general.

This is the second time I've been told I gained Machine rep, yet haven't.
At first I tried to convince myself I was confused and thought Iit said I gained rep, when it was really just the typical rep loss with the other two factions. Twice now I have been told my Machine Rep has increased, yet it is stuck at 111, as if 111 is the new max.

I'm uncertain why your Machine faction isn't raising... perhaps there's a round-up bug being shown? That's about the only thing I can think of...

This is something that the lead GMs and the developers may need to look into.

That happened to me a few times before I finally hit maximum rep, too.

This hapend to me too, and it seemed to happen in quick sucesion after getting a "real" rep point.

i had just opbtained my 125th rep point, and went to run a few more mission's , after about the 6th or 7th mission, the misssion text said i had gained another, but when i did /reputation it showed that i still had 125 rep, here i am nearly a year and 700+ missions later and i have not gained another rep point since i got this "phantom" rep. maybe im just unlucky or maybe its just a database glitch.

Same deal for me, I'm sitting at 122 rep for Zion, and I'm now a year and a half going, with hundreds of missions under my belt. I actually stopped gaining rep however way back in the day when they made it more difficult to gain rep. The day after they changed the scales for rep gaining is when I ceased to gain rep points, that was back in the monolith days, I haven't ever had it looked into though because it isn't really of that much consequence to me. In any case though, I am experiencing the same problem.
