Votes reduce Reputation?

Question

Today I started with less than 200 reputation points for the last 24 hours, yet for every vote I receive, I'm losing 10 points. What's going on???

Answer 1

Oh, sorry pesta! I'm guilty, but not intentionally. Unvoting you, then!

I'm realising that sometimes the system gets crazy!

Heaven! It's true. I unvoted for you and you have reached ten points, from 140 to 150. Amazing! - cogumela, Jan 20, 2011

This is really crazy. I am living in a "negative" world now - :) - pesta, Jan 20, 2011

Finally. I was afraid I may have to delete my account and start over! Maybe I could repeat my 10K celebration in a few months...

I did send a feedback report to the website administrators as soon as I noticed the problem, and perhaps they did something (but they have not communicated any messages to me).

Answer 5

Thanks Cogu, but I don't see how you could have caused me to lose 60 votes in the last 8 hours, while I gained no points at all since 8 hours.

At least at this time, I see votes are getting me 0 points (while my 24-hour average has stopped at 140). That's better than losing points - haha
