If you answer a question and the question gets deleted, do you lose the points for having answered it earlier?

No, you keep your points, unless the question was deleted as a result of your answer being reported and deleted after your answer had been chosen as best answer

I have lost points from a deleted question, but it seems like they do not always take them away I know I have answered a lot more deleted questions than I have seen deletions in points

No, the two factors you won for answering stay with you. I quite tend to write thorough, in specific circumstances long responses and that i'm getting upset whilst somebody else's answer, which will or won't be incorrect, yet very almost in no way consists of as plenty information or covers as many bases as mine, gets chosen as terrific answer earlier i will even placed up mine. it is likewise frustrating if the question is deleted in the time it takes me to accomplish slightly examine and formulate an answer because of the fact in the two circumstances i've got made an honest attempt to respond to a query purely to discover that no longer purely do I no longer have a raffle to get an excellent answer yet i do no longer even get 2 factors for answering in any respect. i assume it extremely is purely component of the device and we could be arranged for the occasional frustration alongside with the prospect to help others.

I doubt that you would get any points for a deleted question. But who can say.

No

.. the only time you lose points is if YOU are reported (for a question or answer).

No, when a question you answer gets reported, keep your points unless your answer was also reported

No. Your points will not be deleted.
