I edited the title of one my old questions and then I noticed that my reputation points got reduced by 48 points. Are those two events correlated?

  • $\begingroup$ I can't see any reason for the reduction. I suggest you look at your answers to make sure that a question that you have answered previously has not been deleted. Btw, I can recalculate your reputation to make sure it is up-to-date if you want. $\endgroup$

Sometimes, when questions get deleted, users who had originally provided answers lose those points. So I'm more inclined to think the events weren't correlated.
