So far I have seen 200+ post count disappear (months ago) and now I have lost two points of rep power overnight… what gives?

Either there is something wrong with the system or moderator deleted your posts.  
When posts are gone, the rep points that you got from the deleted posts will also be deducted.

Hmmm

Well the post count may have been adjusted for all members. Steve was working on a Best of the Best of pherotalk a while back and it may have effected the post count by moving posts you made into it by counting them as two. Of course since its the same post once adjusted back to one you could have lost a bunch. Without being able to look that is my best guess because mine seemed to adjust slightly a few months ago as well about that time.

Rep points well people can give thanks and they can take thanks back if they change there mind. If you were not negged this could be possibly why the sudden change. Cant think of any other reason for it.

Is it not because the Liquid Lust thread has disappeared? It would explain the loss of posts but I’m not sure about Rep Power. I’m not sure how Rep Power works, is it determined by post count
