Weird thing, I'm not sure if it's intentional design, so I'm asking here. On one site, yesterday I reached rep cap but then some votes were cancelled saying "User was removed". Now, the weird thing is that those votes still seem to count towards the cap, effectively “limiting” me to a lower cap:
Is that correct?
Yes, this is intentional and by design. When something (a user or a post) is removed, the votes are removed from the day they are cast. Therefore they are subject to those days' repcaps and not the day they were removed.
So if you didn't repcap those days, then it will deduct from your total.
If you go to your reputation audit page, you will see that you have gained +200 yesterday.
