Jun 4, 2016 at 9:15 comment added Mark Kirby Here is a meta post on it meta.stackexchange.com/questions/7237/how-does-reputation-work That is the best place to look for this kind of information.
Jun 4, 2016 at 9:09 comment added Delorean Oh I understand the reversal concept, I just can't find it written anywhere stating that the system works like that. I also noticed when looking at your own reputation, that there's a checkbox at the bottom to show removed posts. My question is pointing out that this system isn't clear.
Jun 4, 2016 at 9:06 comment added Mark Kirby The reason is, your total rep is only based on the content that is actually on the site when the rep was calculated. So if you remove a downvoted question of yours you gain rep, remove an upvoted answer, you loose rep, same for votes on other peoples stuff. I was sure this was a duplicate but I can't find it anywhere, wait for someone with a bit more knowledge to give you a better answer than I could, with some documentation included.
Jun 4, 2016 at 9:02 comment added Delorean @MarkKirby Thanks for clearing it all up! I tried searching for the reason for the +1, including deleted questions and it's not clear anywhere. Perhaps I'm not using the right search terms. If you can post an answer with a link to where this is stated I'll accept it as an answer. I still think however that when this happens, it should tell you WHY you got the +1, but it doesn't.
Jun 4, 2016 at 8:56 comment added Mark Kirby To address the edit, you must have one of those gray tags on a meta question. See them here meta.askubuntu.com/tags, this should be tagged support as it is not a bug but intended behavior that needs clarification.

Jun 4, 2016 at 8:50 comment added Mark Kirby When the bad answers you downvoted are removed you get your rep back, so +1 for every one the got deleted.
