Why the massive rep-drop yesterday?
I can't get super deep into detail here, but it deserves some explanation. I know this question touches a... whole hell of a lot of users on this site.
To be brief, we released a new tool to help mods ...

How did I lose a point of rep in this situation?
Since you don't have an answer posted, the obvious conclusion is that you downvoted LogicDictates' answer. Downvoting answers incurs a small rep cost to prevent frivolous use.
The question also has a ...

Why did I just lose 100+ rep?
Your latest comment seems to answer this. Your physical proximity to another user (and their consistent attention to your questions and answers) seems to have triggered some sort of anti-sockpuppeting ...

Who moderates the high end users?
Users are moderated mostly by each other and ultimately by moderators.
The fact that one user did a lot of protecting of questions is not, by itself, a problem. Many questions need protecting due to ...

Why the massive rep-drop yesterday?
This is a bit of a guess, but I'm posting it because I suspect there won't be any official comment about this. (There normally isn't about this kind of thing.)

Should there be a higher reputation bonus for editing?
I'll start off by echoing what Null has said in that this would be a network wide change and so whilst it's perfectly fine to suggest it here, suggesting it over on main meta would get more eyes on it ...

When will reputation re-calculation be finished for this site?
When they fix the problems with it on MSE as explained by Jon. It will run sometimes after that.
Yes it is, but for now it's just on MSE. We're working through some problems as we speak. — Jon ...

Can the admin please check my account for an instance of serial down voting?
The patterns of voting that you've experienced aren't unusual, nor do they represent "serial downvoting", even if it's the same person that has downvoted you.
Pretty much any time serial ...

What types of site analytics are given at 25,000 rep?
Post numbers;

Why the massive rep-drop yesterday?
What's confusing me is why it says 'Serial Voting Reversed'. Though I'm familiar with the general idea of what that means, I can't see how anything that's evidently affected so many users can be ...

How much counts as a "significant" rep change from a user being removed?
We don't know.
The exact thresholds for things like what counts as serial voting, or automatic question and answer bans, are kept secret. If they were public, people might be able to abuse them. I've ...

Why are un-upvotes/un-acceptance not reflected in Reputation cap?
Like acceptances, unacceptances are above and beyond the repcap.
The repcap limits you to 200 points a day from votes. If you get n answers accepted and m unaccepted, your cap for the day is 200+15n-...

Why are un-upvotes/un-acceptance not reflected in Reputation cap?
In short this is a feature of the rep system. Normally rep is capped at 200 points per day. When you get an acceptance or a bounty it temporarily increases your repcap by the appropriate amount.

Why did my reputation drop by 6?
Because you deleted this answer.
It had one upvote (+10 rep) and two downvotes (-4 rep), so deleting it cost you 6 rep.

The rep cap is effectively 200 rep worth of votes.
