Reputation has reset to 0

My reputation has reset to 0. This morning it was 92 or 93 depending on where you hovered. Is this a bug or a reset of some kind...? I participated in the beta at the end.

@shrdlu looked into this a little bit in a separate post and had this to say:
I think your issue is different. The problem most people are referring to here has been fixed. You might want to email service@ woot.com, or perhaps ask a (new) question on Ask the Wooters about this, since I don't see anything weird, myself about your account (and you've voted plenty, and you've made comments on deals and questions, and you don't seem to have been voting on just certain deal posters, and...)

Anyway. Post a new question. It sounds like a different problem.

So, this is my new post.

Hopefully the woot staff will notice this soon for you, and as @shrdlu said don't forget to email woot about this.

Actually, I'm wondering if this somehow has anything to do with the recent updates that @shawnmiller mentions here:
http://deals.woot.com/questions/details/aa1447a3-1dcc-4e16-b337-8f89580466dc/feature-request-flag-woot-staff-posts-as-such

But, that was posted 15 hours ago, and I assume the updates had already been made, and 6 hours ago I still had a ~92...

Oh good!
I wonder it what the issue was...

@jokofoto: I think it may be an issue for some others as well. I just saw a post from someone trying to understand why his rep was still 0/100, and when I looked at his deals, and all, I couldn't see why either. He commented on other people's posts, he voted, it certainly seems like he's been participating.

There's always stuff that falls through the cracks, I suppose.

Hey, log in or sign up first!

Whatever it is you're trying to do can ONLY be done by registered, logged-in Deals.Woot members. Why? Because they're better people than you. Don't worry: you can easily improve yourself by logging into your Woot account or signing up for a new one.

Sorry

This is only for people who have bought woots

We restrict voting to users who have purchased something from one of the other Woot stores. It's not just because we want your money (which we do) - it's the best way to be sure all the votes are coming from real people and not spam-bots or phony accounts. The best way we can think of, anyway. For now.

You can always get voting rights by buying something from one of Woot's other sites:

Purchases through Deals.Woot don't count, because in that case you're not buying anything from us. And we don't have your account information for those purchases.

If you think you've bought something from Woot before and still can't vote, make sure you're logged in with the same account you used to buy from us.

Geez, why so negative?

You have to vote up more before you can vote down.

Don't get us wrong. Negativity has its place. And downvotes are just as essential as upvotes when it comes to making Deals.Woot a useful place to find deals.

But when your votes lean so heavily toward the dark side, we have to wonder. Go vote up a few things. Accentuate the positive for a little while. It'll do you some good, and it'll do the site some good, too. Then you can get back to dealing out the smackdowns, OK?

Too late, we all heard you!

Hmm... you're wanting to take your vote back?

Well, that's a bit tricky. See, we do a lot of stuff with your vote, using it to work out the popularity of what you voted for, compare that to all the other things voted on, tally up our leaderboard, work out your reputation. Someday we'll do a little cartoon showing just how hard your vote is working.

Anyway, taking votes back messes all that up, so we give you five minutes, in case you just mis-clicked. After that we've got to say no take-backs. Luckily, votes are free, so feel free to throw them around left and right wherever you see fit.
