I just lost 100 reputation
I checked my rep numbers a few hours ago and they were almost at 2K, in the 1980's region. I just checked them now, and they dropped to 1.9K, 1890's region.
Is this a glitch in the system? I haven't seen many of my older posts being downvoted so I don't know what's going on. Is this the right room to ask in as well or should I take this to tech support or something like that? Thanks.
$$anonymous$$oved to the meta space.
Are you sure you did not downvote others? Downvoting cost some of your own karma / reputation, though not that much. Keep in $$anonymous$$d that votes on all posts count, so votes on comments do also increase / decrease your karma. Also if the accepted answer is taken away from your answer you also loose those 15rp points again.
Unfortunately we can't see how the reputation changed. This was way more transparent with the old stack exchange engine. When UA switched to Qato the quality of the site went downhill drastically ^^. Though we have to live with it.
Note if you see spam, don't downvote such posts, just report them and maybe send it to the moderation queue. Downvoting cost 2 rep. Also rewarding another user manually (reward user button) will transfer some of your karme to that other user.
I am aware that downvoting posts and comments make you lose rep, and also if users remove their upvotes from your older answers, however, I don't think I did anything drastic that could've resulted in -100 karma points. Also, I checked my most recent answers and comments, and not much has changed from there. It is harder to check my older answers but I'm not too bothered by it any longer. Thanks for your help anyways :)
I'Ve just upvoted some of your answers / comments ^^. You're closer to 2k again :)

Bump. I lost another 80 rep. I tracked down the issue to answers that I posted with 1 or 2 upvotes (more than 0), losing the upvotes over time. They just disappeared. My last 50 answers have no upvotes. The last answer that I posted with a single upvote had 3 before, then 2, and now 1.
Has this happened to anyone on this site before? I don't feel as if someone is wasting their time, downvoting all my posts with upvotes. I believe this is an issue with the site not keeping record of upvotes on answers. Thanks.
Bump. Sorry for pushing this question up again. Out of all my answers, 270+ of them, only 5 have upvotes left, and they are all on 1 each. The only reason this is, is because they had multiple before, and I'm just waiting for them to disappear with the rest of them over time. WTH is going on.
@Llama_w_2Ls here's a few upvotes buddy to make you happy also it may be people deleting their accounts
