I've encountered this before but didn't think too much about it. Now it has occurred again and just wanted to ask what to make of this. In my table of recent reputation points I found this entry:
7 Feb 2011 18:36 PM Answer Upvoted Authority Article C# Is it possible to convert a point or location to an int? -40
Can somebody explain this to me?

If someone changes their vote, or a vote is deleted, then you lose the points associated with that vote, and will get different points if the vote was changed.
If the vote was for a pending article then we clear all votes on pending articles when they go live in order to give articles that are in incubation, so to speak, a fresh start.

Thanks for clearing that up.

If that's the case I think you should update the messages shown in rep history to be more clear. These are probably too long, but:
+/- XX points - vote changed/deleted, old points revoked.
+/- XXX points - votes cleared when article moved from pending to approved.
3x12=36
2x12=24
1x12=12
0x12=18

I thought that was a fair question, can't see why down voted, +5 to compensate.

Cheers!

Now we have a minimum length of thirty characters, could we have a "(Currently 27)" or similar to let us know how much longer it needs to be?

Works like a charm. I tried it with a ascii code entered via ALT key and number pad. After your hint I found that lots of spaces and a <p/> works too.

I have tested this.
As you can see the Subject line is very short.
HTML will fill the gap!
