I agree that it is a bug, but it's probably better to add error checking rather than allowing more bits for an instance of reputation change b/c it will be a waste of space. There is a repute for each vote and storage for them does add up.

Can't moderate more than 16 bits of karma?
I tried giving myself a million karma and got a warning - adding the actual karma worked, but the moderation record complained; the repute object got stored with 32767 for positive and 1000001 for karma.
Does this mean the model field should be changed (assuming you agree this is a bug)?

Repute model uses SmallInteger field which in MySQL is in range –32768 to 32767. The user reputation is UnsignedInteger with a much larger range and apparently there is no check on the limits in the code, I've saved this issue in the bug tracker. Thanks.
edit: btw bug tracker is at http://bugs.askbot.org
