If I look at my accounts tab here on this site:

http://meta.stackoverflow.com/users/144983/boltbait?tab=accountshttps://meta.stackoverflow.com/users/144983/boltbait?tab=accounts

I have a SO rep of 7181.

If I go over to SO, my rep is 6584.

I thought this was going to fix the rep to be updated everywhere instantly.

Guess not.

Anyway, I just lost 10% of my rep because some of the questions I answered got deleted. That doesn't seem right. I still answered the questions. People still liked the answers I gave. I'm assuming someone got some value out of them. But I lose out the benefit because someone comes along later and deletes the question? Bah!

The same thing happened the last time you guys did a global recalc. I lost ~10% of my rep then too. Do you ever consider how that will affect your users before you do something like that? This was one of the major reasons I don't come here and answer questions anymore. I figured, "what's the point? I'll just lose the rep later anyway."
