Description

Look at https://ask.libreoffice.org/en/users/91483/amarawatt/?sort=reputation. This user had posted something that was marked offensive by several long-time contributors. As a result, the karma had not changed, since it was minimal. However, when the post was deleted by the user, the negative marks were incorrectly "reverted", and user got more than 130 points karma because of that.

Recently cloph had to revert a similar benefit in https://ask.libreoffice.org/en/users/30545/ronzalez/?sort=reputation, so this is an actually exploited and rather bad bug.

And it seems that the user who exploits the bug may delete the offending post to get the karma, then undelete, and have a "clean" post, as happened likely in case of https://ask.libreoffice.org/en/question/288607/automated-office-365-migration/, also not shown in recent posts, thus not drawing attention of those who may act.

Thanks for reporting this issue Mike. I've deleted the post and blocked the user. I'll search if there is a way to block a user as soon as his publication has been marked as offensive.
