I have occasionally found that my total number of answers has been decreased by one without explanation.?
No notice. No violation. No reason given. Has this happened to others on the board? Does anyone know why, or is this just some random event?

Thank you all for answering, but none sound quite right, and you are of mixed opinions about whether I would keep points if questions were deleted. I'll leave it open for a few days more.
Kiwi, didn't you ever think that at some point we might be able to turn points into cash prizes or vacations or something?

It just happened again, and I lost no points. I scanned through my answers and found none that mentioned that the question had been eliminated. I don't believe that I lost any points, but they are hard to keep track of with points for signing on, etc.

Some people, like me, delete their questions rather then choosing a best answer. When this happens, everyone who answered it loses their answer, but they still keep the points.

I've also experienced this lately. So, i searched for the question I answered and I found that the question is no more on the board. So, i think that the question has been deleted, but my point didn't decrease though.

the question you answered has been deleted- either it was a violation, or the asker deleted it by him or herself

Not that it matters, really. The points & stuff don't really get us anything anyway.
