@BradLarson: I do not agree about this, I am afraid. I agree about the reputation removal if it is a fake account, but if it is not, why would you use the score provided the account has found your answer useful, no matter whether that user wishes to continue using SO as a registered user. — Final Contest20 secs ago
Shall I expand on that as answer or should I submit a feature request?
Currently, when a moderator deletes a user all of the user's votes are removed along with the user himself. I was pretty surprised at this behaviour when I first heard about it, and I don't think it is a good idea to throw away all of the votes just because the user is deleted.
Votes are locked ...
I just came across several user deletion the last couple of days in my history.
I am not much concerned about the reputation, but for sure, score is a type of measure on Stack Overflow how good a post is.

Uhm, is anyone else having issues with i.stack.imgur.com? Some avatars aren't loading for me and every time I visit the image, I need to fill in a cloudflare captcha...
@sp00m Actually, you should flag one of the user's posts, with a custom flag reason, and explain which accounts you think are doing bad and why. Link to examples is bonus.
I don't know if it has ever been, but that answer says this "You can explicitly notify one (1) other commenter, editor, or ♦ moderator who closed a question."
Well, technically you could be notifying 3 people max, but only 1 with @ reply.. for example, if you comment on an answer to another commenter, that commmenter with @reply , the answer user, and the question user will all receive a notification
@ShadowWizard if you think you can throw @DroidDev in front of a bus, let me remind you of this http://chat.meta.stackexchange.com/transcript/message/2082053#2082053
What is the maximum number of @somenamehere that I can use in a single chat message to ping people? Asking out of curiosity rather than any practical standpoint as I can't envision needing more than a few.
@Stijn suppose you now have 1 rep and you have 10 questions with total of 50 downvotes. You delete all 10 questions and get +100 rep back. You place bounty of 100 and undelete all 10 questions.
That's what he's doing. ^
See "rep change" in his reputation tab, that's to cover the negative rep.
I've a small doubt. Say I've 125 reputation and I downvote a question. The vote is locked and I can't undo it. A couple of days later, the question was edited and my vote is unlocked, but I happen to lose few rep and it goes below 125. Can I undo my downvote on that question now?
Ever seen this post? Read it carefully, if you didn't. Mysticial's explanation is great. That is a small problem. If I'll undelete back my post, rep change that occurred doesn't get reversed. So this is feature-request before I get suspended. Remove rep change events if post is undeleted.
@bjb568 Maybe I should have skipped but I couldn't make up what his input was, what operation he needed to happen and what the expected outcome should be. Let alone any attempt on code...
"declined - A reviewer who rejects 172 edits is clearly not clicking "approve" automatically. I've interacted with this user before, and they're not gaming the system."
I'm talking about low-quality reviews not about clicking "approve" automatically - just clicking approve would be caught by audits.
