I woke up this morning to find that I suffered massive drop in points across network because of lots of users were removed .
What happened to those users? Was there a database cleanup?
@bertieb - Yah, and I like what they had to say: "Oh, there wasn't a network wide mass deletion." yah, right. When there's a BUNCH of people on there stating they'd lost a noticeable amount of rep, something happened. I mean, overall, it doesn't kill my rep, but really? As some said, there's supposed to be safeguards in place to prevent rep loss. I don't believe there was fraudulent activity, but whatever.
@bertieb - Thanks for pointing it out. Much appreciated.
Sure thing :) I dunno what the deal is/was, they're clammed up pretty tight about it. There's bits of speculation here and there with SEDE/data.se queries but those that know ain't saying. Feels like there's been a couple of high rep / high impact users leaving / being deleted or suspended this year. Just one of those things, I guess
