<p>Last night I lost 125 rep points because a user was removed.  I suspect that other users of CV also lost many point because of this, particularly the high rep users.  This is very unfair.  A few days ago Macro a long time user who is currently ranked 5th in reputation on CV announced that he was taking a vacation form the site.  Macro has been a heavy user of this site and has reward many community members with upvotes on questions and answers.  If a highly respected user like Macro quits the site tons of votes would be removed.</p>

<p>I can't see how this rule could be considered sensible or fair.  I think it should be modified or dropped.  What are your thoughts?</p>
