I received an upvote on an old post early this morning. I log back in this evening and see my rep down 30 points. Upon examining the reputation log I see, in triplicate, a "User removed" -10:    Another curious thing is that the actual vote count on the post in question did not change at all. It was +4 after getting the single upvote this morning and now it remains at +4.  Is there something I'm missing?

Message appearing when a user was removed.     It seems I lost 1765 reputation points on Stack Overflow yesterday. The reason given in my history is "removed", with the description of "User was removed ()". I don't understand what that means. What caused this?

Today I noticed that my reputation got truncated by 64 points, and when I looked at my reputation history, I saw  notifying me of points removal along to a "user was removed" message. Each has a slightly different timestamp, ranging from 12:39:04 to 12:39:43.    I can't find the questions/answers concerned by this (and I don't remember having won as much as 65 points once, making this even stranger). I would like to find out how I could have lost 65 points while I never won as much in a single question/answer.  Is there a way I can check which of my posts were impacted?

The message that appears in the reputation tab of a user's profile when they gain or lose reputation due votes disappearing when another user is deleted is simply:     user was removed   This message is confusing and unhelpful. Below are comments that demonstrate this confusion, . I don't have any quotes from the users who could not find it and remained confused.  There is , and . However, the message has not been changed.  I know that in the past the developers have been reluctant to direct users to meta in some situations, such as question bans, because it may cause users to post here appropriately. That does not seem to apply to this case. This is not typically a case of ""; most of us have probably seen the message at some point.  Why is this message vague and unlinked? What negative behaviour does this confusion mitigate?       My first interpretation was that I was the user who was removed!        I just simply wished the explanation on the reputation page was better. Seems like I shouldn't have had to come to the meta section to figure this out.        It must be better to show "User  was removed". For a moment I just thought that I was removed :-(        the information should be better. I lost 10 points yesterday by "user removed" and assumed that I was the one being removed, leaving me wondering why and feeling somewhat embarrassed.         The recalc policy is fine. But the red mark and "user was removed" looks cryptic and unnecessarily negative--especially since the only user name mentioned on a profile is one's own. So the natural impulse is to bind "user" to the account you're looking at. (It was jarring to me and I could tell what it meant, but still this could be clearer.) I agree that orange is better than red and ideally all of these things would have hyperlinks to a help page (or at least a meta post) explaining what the deal is.        +1 (to HostileFork) for the idea of linking to an explanation of 'User was removed'. It just took me 10+ minutes to find this particular thread and read through, when I could have simply clicked through! I would also like a little more info on why user was removed (abuse, friend upvotes, rules, etc) , as that could help educate the community as a whole on what behaviors to report.        I could care less about the rep gain or loss, but when you have a loss it is a scary message without context. I honestly thought for a moment that my account had been inhibited in some way. No, it didn't say "Your account was removed." Still, there is that moment of "what did I do wrong?" which seems silly to cause simply by not posting a few extra words. A clearer "A user who voted on your posts was removed along with reputation changes they caused" would have gone a long way to not cause me to question my participation in the review queues as of late.         My problem is that the message "user has been removed" is not a clickable link like the other messages - so I had to search meta to discover this question to find out what it meant.

If votes were cast on a post while it was community wiki, and a moderator removes wiki from that post, the votes should count towards reputation again. However, while this is visible in a reputation audit, , and the reputation score needs to be recalculated to reflect the change.  Can someone fix this?

I just noticed a weird thing in my reputation tab on StackOverflow.    That last question mentioned (but not linked, had to find it via search):   I must have amnesia as I have no memory of ever interacting with this post. I don't even know what xampp and pdftk are so I don't know why I would even be interested in such a question. 2 reputation points more or less is not a big deal, but the fact I got rep change from question I've never seen before is odd and I'm wondering what happened.

I just saw a post (deleted)  which was deleted by  but is shown as:   deleted by Charles, Gordon♦, Gordon♦ 1 min ago   How is it that one person (whether a mod or not) can vote twice on the same post?

I asked a question on meta SO for the first time since the split.   I received a couple of up votes (great), yet my rep hasn't changed.  Come to think of it, my rep appears to be my SO rep and my old Meta rep is no longer on SE Meta.  What happens when I'm upvoted on SO Meta?  I'm not really that bothered but some clarification would be nice.

(Posted here as probably applies to all sites).  I was examining my reputation gain yesterday on Stack Overflow: 190. I believe I should have hit the 200 cap. Mainly due to         Respectively, I had 10, 7, 3, and 2 upvotes on those questions alone. There are a couple of other minnows in the list but the above alone should enable me to hit the cap.  There was a user removed sometime yesterday which knocked off 10 points (and possibly accounts for the disparity) but I think (1) the cap should have been recalibrated and (2) I answered (3) after this event before turning in for the night.  I checked all the usual suspects: the reputation graph on your profile and  the achievements tab, but they are all showing 190.

"Good morning.  Here is something awesome that you got last night!", said the Top Bar:    "21?  That must be two answer upvotes and, um, an answer that I downvoted that was deleted?", I thought.  Ok, let's look at the details and find out:    The +20 on my egrep answer is new and I've seen the other Achievements on the list, so where did the extra +1 come from?  In order to avoid confusion, the recent reputation changes in the dropdown should add up to the number in the notification.      I suspect this particular case is a bug.  Assuming the +1 is a downvote reversed by an answer deletion, I could see the argument for excluding it from the Achievements dropdown.  After all, it's not exactly something you accomplished.  Except it kinda is.  Part of the reason for downvoting is to  low-quality content.  The ultimate sign that such content was deemed beneath community standards is when it gets deleted.  I'm not sure that we should , but putting a note in your achievements in such cases seems like it would reinforce positive (albeit negative) behaviour.  This question is a feature request that rep gains from deleted downvotes be listed in the Achievements dialog, without getting into broader issues of displaying other activity on deleted posts such as those discussed in .  Thus, this is not intended to completely address the issue of the Achievements sum not adding up, but is intended to help encourage good community moderation by appropriate downvoting of low-quality content.

This all started from the day before yesterday. I logged into my account and found out 2 reputation was gone. I checked my reputation changes, but didn't find any record. The same thing occurred yesterday and today.  What is wrong?

I would like to get a notification if my reputation count has changed. I think there is already some internal API for that. (I can see that changes in the menu bar in the top).  I'm sure that some people would not like that so that should be optional.

I am not a fraud, I have no acquaintances here whatsoever. I love reading questions and answers here and upvoting what I feel is cool. Sometimes I'm in awe of some answers and questions posted here. So I do see into users' profile and open their top questions and answers, and if I like them I upvote.   Number of votes:  Mostly up to 5 questions or answers (may be at best 10).   Mode:  When upvoting (or downvoting) in the opened links, I do not restrict my votes just to that user, but to all good answers and questions I find in that link. Also I do not open the profiles of someone I remember I had visited once.   Am I susceptible to be caught for serial voting? Is reputation gained from my votes deducted from his profile in this scenario? I just don't want my votes to be wasted, hence asking.. I went through  two  but hadn't got enough clarification.

Since some time in the last two or three weeks, upvotes do not show in the top bar the way they used to (like, +10 on the achievements dropdown image for an answer upvote), at least on Super User. I have to click on the achievements dropdown image or go into my profile to see the recent reputation change. This was also network-wide, so it readily alerted me to voting going on on questions on other sites, sometimes causing me to revisit and improve them.  The reputation count (next to the avatar) is updated, but this is far from obvious.  I really miss reputation changes being somewhat prominently displayed. Where did that feature go?  Edit: It looks like this might affect only questions on sites other than the one I am currently browsing. Either way, an explanation of the intended behavior from someone in the know would certainly be appreciated! All the seemingly relevant posts I found were years old.

On Physics Stack Exchange I have 96 reputation points. I'm able to upvote something, but when I tried downvoting a question it said that my vote would be recorded, but not displayed.  Is there a different amount of reputation points needed to downvote than to upvote?

The topbar only tells us about reputation gains (see ).  But sometimes it only half-tells us:    The explanation of that +1 is nowhere to be found here.  An answer that I downvoted was deleted (hence the return of my 1 rep), but I'm active on several sites and sometimes it takes days (or weeks or months) for such posts to be deleted, so asking myself "what have I downvoted recently?" doesn't necessarily help.  If we're going to show the notification, shouldn't we also show the explanation?

I am aware that . But now there is an extraneous "reverted" event to go along with user removal:     Source: .   The edit was not reverted, it's . In any case, I should not lose 2 points twice for the total of -4. And indeed, my reputation only dropped from 131 to 129 despite what the history suggests.   So the line with "-2 reverted" is a bug.     A more extreme example:  got 21 "reverted" events on 2017-06-30, none of which should be there. His rep loss is 42, not 84 as the reputation history says.

In the  here on Meta Stack Exchange, it shows that I've earned 9,876 rep this year, and 10,359 rep overall. (It's updated every day at 0:00 UTC, and I so far have earned 1 rep today, since an answer I downvoted a while ago was deleted.)  The difference between my total rep and the rep I earned this year is 483, which means 483 of the rep I've earned is rep I earned in 2017 or earlier. This amount normally never changes, though I can see some reasons why it might change, such as if rep is recalculated and something affects a rep event occurring in a previous year (e.g. a vote from last year was invalidated due to user deletion, a post I made at that time was deleted or undeleted, etc.)  This amount, 483, was a recent change; it used to be 461. Ordinarily, I'd chalk this up to a rep event from last year being recalculated, but I've gone through my full rep history and I can see nothing of the sort happening. On the other hand, on the same day that this number changed from 461 to 483,  was undeleted, recalculating my rep and giving me back 22 (which happens to equal 483-461). It therefore makes sense if that post was from a previous year. However, the post is from this year, so it doesn't make very much sense.  Is there a bug in the way yearly rep in the rep league is calculated, in that rep regained from an undeleted post made the same year is not re-added to the rep earned this year (while it is subtracted properly upon deletion)? Or is there some other event that occurred in the three weeks before 2018 that I had my account that caused this difference to change, that I'm not seeing, and the change being equal to that is just a coincidence?
