I recently visited this question which has this answer - deleted only seen by users who has reputation more than 10k
Please see above image it says I have upvoted the question, I doubt as I don't remember doing so. But just cross checked with the user's profile and checked reputation, which has nothing under his account.
So question is how does that happened ? is it bug ? or am I missing something ?
This is working as designed. You certainly upvoted that answer.
The reason you don't see any reputation on the user profile is because the post is deleted; votes on deleted posts are not counted, as if the votes were never cast at all*.
From the deletion FAQ:
- Reputation changes from votes (both up and down) on deleted posts (including answers to a deleted question) are nullified.
*Unless the post was at least 60 days old and had a score of 3 or higher when deleted.
