A moderator probably found some of your spam and deleted it?
It happened to me once when I was close to that amount of points.

It could be a moderator or admin deleting your commenting spam on games, profiles, or forum posts, or it could be a user clearing their profile so they happened to delete your comments as well.

Mine dropped yesterday too.

Mine also dropped yesterday. Only by like 6 points. I think comments on colony about the server crashing were deleted.

Mine stayed the same, everyone else probably had spam deleted. Or a user deleted their comments off their profile. Nothing wrong with the site though.

O no....losing points. Sounds horrible. If it really upsets you that much, just take a step back, and go enjoy the summer heat.

I didn't know you could lose points, could you loose points from favoriting a game and then deleting it form your favorites?

No, because adding games to favorites doesn't give you AP. If it did, that would be a free-point system.

I once lost 100 AP after being banned for a day. I still don't know why...

Proably the spam you got banned for was deleted.

But I got banned for posting irrelevant posts 40 times in a short time. That isn't worth 100 AP. And my posts weren't even deleted.

A few weeks ago my Forum post dropped by about 5. I could find no way to explain it, as the night before I clearly saw '750 forum posts' on my About and in the Forum. I suspect the system corrects itself every few months or something like that.

Another case could be a mod going through some very old threads and deleting some not necessary posts in the thread(say, in a year or so comments in this thread). This is only a guess though.

Yeah, some good users have experienced being banned for doing some very stupid things in their life.

It still doesn't explain my loss of 100 AP.

Maybe they went throught some old flash games and deleted some comments since each comment is 2 ap you could lose a lot.

The system may still have errors: The mods delete the comment, the AP is taken away, but the comment strangely stays. Or they found other stuff they considered spam.

That's only if they spammed. If they erased all old comments, it wouldn't be fair for older or inactive users.

You don't get points for favoriting a game in the first place, so no.

And my posts weren't even deleted.


It sometimes takes awhile to get rid of the posts.
