  • You may of done - often you will find the rep report doesn't match your visit rep on the site (mine is out by ~20 at the moment) - because deleted questions and the like do not get discounted from your rep immediately. It could be that your account has had it's rep recalculated to correct these errors, but maybe not, I don't think they happen often. Maybe a moderator can confirm if this has happened on your account..?

  • Btw - ignore the rep score on meta, it is not live - I often find after a rep change on SU that meta.SU does not match. As for changes - remember that it is also possible someone removed an up vote or un-accepted one of your answers, these will (I believe) instantly change your rep score.

    Rep isn't the be-all and end-all of StackExchange. it is a major motivating factor, yes. Also, you expect people to vote for you and rep you - but you aren't participating in the voting process. At all. Rep going up and down is a natural process, learn to live with it.

  • @Sathya that doesn't mean I could loose something which I earned for no particular reason. For me answering the correct answer and getting reps is like a game , so i hate it when i loose it. It keeps me motivated in answering more questions.

    @subanki If it's like a game - you can't win all the time. And you aren't losing them for no particular reason. Re-evaluate yourself. Your answers seem pseudo-spam. Google + copy & paste with little attribution. Do we do it ? Yes. Do we do it all the time? No. There are substantial number of answers where the answer posted is nowhere related to the question asked. All of these will factor in when somebody sees an answer. People come to the StackExchange for a more personal approach feedback - not bits of text sourced from various places.

I deleted one of your posts because of it violating copyright. As there was quite a few deleted posts on your account I also did a reputation recalculation to ensure that your rep shows correctly for the rep leagues and the current competition. During a reputation recalculation and votes received for any of the following is removed:

  • Deleted Posts
  • CW Posts

  • oh that could be the reason , I deleted a up-voted answer as it was not the exact answer. Thank you. Also can please specify me what is the daily max rep cap. Is it 195 or 250 ?? What happens after I reach that rep cap. And oh yeah Thanks for keeping everything updated and clean :D (it must be tough)

    @subanki. Firstly. Please stop deleting questions. This is not your personal playground. If I see any more posts unnecessarily deleted I will suspend your account. Secondly, in one of your answers you copied and pasted the complete content from a website that clearly stated that their content is copyright. Read the sites before you just copy the content, lastly. The rep cap is 200. After the cap, you don't gain rep. Simple.

    @subanki - Please note. Stop copying and pasting text from websites who have clearly stated copyright on their content. This is your final warning. Should I find further posts with regards to this I will suspend your account

    @subanki. The head office is in the US. As for the copyright, simply clicking on the link to the resources you give, and reading their copyright notices, show that it is copyrighted material. No rocket science involved. This is not a debate. I would expect your old enough and smart enough to figure out what is right or wrong. We have already emailed you with regards to improving your interaction with the site. Rather slow down a bit and improve the quality of your posts rather then the quantity. The first is much more important to SU users.

    @JNK Troggy has been on top of this, and the other moderators all were aware. I just happened to be online while it was getting out of hand.

If you received a lot of reputation in 5 minutes, most likely the system thought someone was cheating or raising your reputation and corrected it.

If it wasn't automatic, it was probably just a recalc which happens when a mod wants it or periodically.
