I noticed that recently (at least for a week), I don't lose the normal 1 point of reputation when downvoting a question (not CW). Has this been happening to others recently? Is there something in the rules of this site that explains this?

Yes, they have changed the system. Down-voting questions does not effect the reputation of the down voter any more.
You can also rigger a reputation recalculation here.

fyi the current cs faq seems to be incorrect (out of date) on that. it says:
answer is voted down -2 (-1 to voter)
reading kaveh's link they changed this to encourage more voting overall, but I am not sure thats the best choice. seems like maybe some forums might want to be able to independently adj some of these parameters.
