I lost 3000+ rep as a reversal

It is possible that someone serially upvoted my posts. I can't see it. But the weird thing is that some of my answers were unaccepted. That is a puzzle. What does this mean?

Why I am banned for reviewing?

Why did I not get a half-bounty?

It seems that I know the reason. The answer was posted before the bounty started. It does not matter when it was upvoted. Half-bounties are awarded only for answers posted after the bounty starts.

What is the difference between "delete" and "recommend deletion" votes?

My thread is too broad, why? - "Safety of software installation from source code"

First of all there are no "threads" at AU. You posted a question that is not answerable. It is impossible to give a rule that will help to tell if some source code at some site is "safe".

Users strange behaviour

It is a correct behaviour to convert a comment to an answer and mark it as wiki if the answerer did not write an answer themselves. Nothing is wrong. I do it too.
