posts" checkbox.  That "invisible" +1 rep is almost certainly
the result of a post you downvoted being removed.  share|improve

Has this question not been granted FAQ status yet? Something
that explains generally how and why to use the "show removed
posts" checkbox? –  Cody Gray Apr 21 '12 at 23:44

Seems like a no-brainer to enable this as soon as you notice it.
