When an user is removed you'll loose (or gain) some rep. Normally just a small amount like 10-30 so far. Yesterday I lost 110 ...

Is it possible that the removed user had a few answered questions, that have been deleted too? Or one question with 11 upvotes?

The question is not about the points, i just wonder if it is possible that answered questions are deleted. Normally you can not delete your questions if upvoted answers are there.

    If this is a contest..... I am at -545. :). I will look further to see what happened. But most probably you had some upvotes from the user(s) that got deleted.

@sv3n

If the user is deleted then his/her answer remains as it is,

Here is the sample answer, where a user is deleted but the answer was there.

Magento : Add customer login form

Above Example normal user deletes.

Now if user marked as spam then his/her associated post also deleted see below example see user user68158

    Yep. When a user is deleted, all of his/her posts are anonymized. The user name becomes user<user-id-here>. On the other hand, if a user is 'destroyed' (for spam for example) all the posts associated to that user are deleted also and all the flags on the posts are validated.

    @sv3n. If the user is "deleted", his/her posts remain by they become anonymous. If the user is "destroyed" all his/her posts are deleted.
