| Jul 21, 2018 at 6:56 | comment | added | YCor | @IgorRivin yes I did a confusion (thanks Gerry) and talked about downvotes on MO. Downvotes on meta is something else; it seems that people downvote more easily here. | |
| Jul 21, 2018 at 6:03 | comment | added | Martin Sleziak | I will add one more link, since quid's answer there gives a very detailed explanation: I had reputation of 104 it fell down to 96 the next time I logged in. Why is that? | |
| Jul 21, 2018 at 5:27 | comment | added | Martin Sleziak | BTW you have sufficient reputation to search for your own deleted posts by entering deleted:1 into search. See also: Can I somewhere see my own deleted questions? | |
| Jul 21, 2018 at 5:26 | comment | added | Martin Sleziak | IIRC if you check the checkbox "show removed posts" on your reputation tab, you should see there also negative reputation changes with links to the posts that cause them. See also: Where reputation disappears and Mysterious one point rep increase. | |

| Jul 21, 2018 at 4:09 | comment | added | Gerry Myerson | I suspect, Igor, that you and @YCor are speaking past each other. I think YCor was writing about downvoting the deleted question on the main site, while you think YCor is writing about the current question you have posted in meta. For my part, I don't see the point in downvoting this meta question, unless maybe someone is expressing surprise that a user who has been on this site as long as you have has missed out on these facts about loss of points and tracking reputation changes(or maybe expressing annoyance that someone with 76k points is worried about .1k). | |
| Jul 21, 2018 at 0:04 | comment | added | Igor Rivin | @YCor You do know this is "meta", right? Which is the only place to ask support questions. If you are not interested in support (which I certainly do not blame you for), then you would not know if this is a "bad" question or not. The same goes for any other question. As for the main MO, I NEVER downvote. My downvote is a vote to close. | |
| Jul 21, 2018 at 0:02 | comment | added | Igor Rivin | @Gerry Myerson which has now been downvoted twice. | |
| Jul 21, 2018 at 0:02 | comment | added | Igor Rivin | @GerryMyerson This very meta question. | |
| Jul 20, 2018 at 23:34 | comment | added | Gerry Myerson | "I also don't know why someone would downvote this question." Igor, are you referring to the current question you have posted here in meta? or to the deleted question on the main site? | |
| Jul 20, 2018 at 22:14 | comment | added | YCor | I didn't downvote your answer, but happened to sometimes downvote answers to low-quality questions (even if not bad), on the grounds that answering low-quality posts should be discouraged. | |
| Jul 20, 2018 at 22:07 | comment | added | Todd Trimble Mod | Just FYI, if you go to your user page, you should see a tab that says 'reputation' which will show a history of reputation changes; that's how I found the post. As for the post: it was first closed as being off-topic (it asked a non-mathematical question, on how to get an article of the OP published or on the arXiv). Probably nothing would more have happened, except that the OP basically obliterated the original question and replaced it with an announcement that the article is now on the arXiv; I expect it would not have been deleted if it weren't for the apparent self-promotion. | |
| Jul 20, 2018 at 21:40 | comment | added | Igor Rivin | I did not see that, and I did not know that this is how things function. I also don't know why someone would downvote this question. There seems to be no other forum for support. | |
| Jul 20, 2018 at 19:38 | comment | added | Todd Trimble Mod | Well, no, no bug, i.e., no malfunctioning of software or anything like that. Did you check your reputation history? I was easily able to trace it to this post mathoverflow.net/questions/304542/… which was recently deleted. This resulted in a loss of 73 (60 from upvotes, 15 from acceptance, -2 from downvote). | |
