Are negative reputation factors tracked separately?

Question

I am getting myself to better understand the reputation system and featured achievements (both good and bad) based on it. I must admit, I have just learned a question-asking ban existed (as I never encountered it, or received such), and as far as I have read here, it seems to be caused by the user's reputation and mostly negative reputation changes.

Now, recently I received some negative reputation updates, due to some edits made by me — the questions I edited got removed, so the reputation from the edits I made were subtracted. This also happens if you have positive reputation to answers which get removed.

So, technically, it seems possible to receive a lot of negative reputation changes due to what I am calling maintenance synchronization. What I am asking is, is it possible such changes to be treated by the system as a reason for ban or being internally tagged as a bad user? If so, it seems wrong to me, since in such cases the victim users would have not done anything wrong, neither be responsible for other people questions being deleted. If not, maybe it is a good thing to keep such changes separately?

On the other hand - good users that have mostly positive reputation, will never encounter negative reputation amounts due to the maintenance synchronization. So, is it really an issue?

Edit

I must clarify - I am not asking personally for myself - for my lost edits. What I mean is that is it possible to get into trouble by losing for instance a (few) +10 answers to question(s) being deleted ?

Summary

As per answers and comments below, it seems reputation reversal works like this:

• Positive amounts that are reversed (edits, positively scored answers to removed post) do not count as reputation loss and are OK

• Negative amounts that are reversed (removing own bad posts) restore lost reputation, but still count for receiving bans or punishments.

Answer 1

No, deletions cause reversals. You do not lose reputation for an upvoted answer or a post you suggested an edit on being deleted. The reputation you had gained earlier gets reversed, as if it did not happened at all. The removal event is only there to indicate why you randomly lost reputation that day.

Basically, think of your reputation history like this:

May 1

+10     Upvote
+2      Edit
+5      Upvote

Now, say that the post you edited gets deleted on May 2:

May 1

+10     Upvote
+2      Edit
+5      Upvote

May 2

(The post you edited was removed.)

As you can see, you're basically just cancelling the original reputation action that occurred on May 1, and adding a "notification" of sorts on May 2 of what happened.

You might also be interested in a feature request I made that might help clarify this.

Answer 2

You were not penalized, but the reputation you gain with the edit was reversed after the question/answer got deleted. I understand that the rationale behind that is that one doesn't deserve credit for embellishing something that deserves to be destroyed.

I don't have a canonical answer on that, but there is nothing bad if you have edited some questions that were deleted. Perhaps you edited a question for making it more attractive, but the OP deleted it after it got several downvotes. In that case, you won't go to jail, but you will pass go without collecting +2.
