I just lost 93 points in one day, with no downvotes, and it matches my /reputation calculation. So it seems like someone is deleting a lot of stuff, but they'd have to do a recalc for that to impact me. So did someone go an do a sitewide rep recalc?

EDIT: It's happened on other SE sites also.

EDIT: Looks like they decided to punish the users with site-wide recalcs across all sites, as per here.

    No longer counting off topic questions that were deleted would do that

  • @random, as you know, there are plenty of on-topic questions that get deleted every day, I know on Meta I burn a lot of undelete votes trying to keep that from happening.

    It's not a punishment.

  • @ChrisF, Yes it is, it's saying that a bunch of the work I did will not be rewarded. There are many workarounds, but they decided to take the easy way out, and just dock everyone points.

As you can see on Meta Sudden sharp reputation drop problem: points disappeared and score lost (recalc?) there was a site-wide re-calc,

-2

I don't know if they deleted it. I think they simply went to a backup. The reputation calculation just stops at Feb. 25th for me.

    They didn't go to a backup, as @Lance mentions in his question - a site-wide rep recalc was triggered to accomodate for changes in /users page. Read more info here
