| Nov 14, 2021 at 17:53 | comment | added | Makyen | Receiving a downvote on one of your posts costs you 2 reputation. You casting a downvote on an answer costs you 1 reputation (so -1 for you and -2 for the author of the answer; if it's a community wiki post, then the author doesn't get -2 reputation, but also doesn't get +10 for upvotes). The cost of casting a downvote on a question is 0. | |
| Nov 14, 2021 at 17:52 | comment | added | Makyen | I said "almost always" primarily to hedge my bets. I'm not thinking of a specific place where "score" is used, but doesn't mean (upvotes - downvotes). Unfortunately, there are quite a lot of times/places where terminology isn't used precisely, so there's likely to be places where "score" is used where "upvotes" is really meant. There are definitely places on the site where "votes" is used where it means "score". | |

| Nov 14, 2021 at 17:41 | comment | added | Makyen | When "score" is stated, it's almost always (upvotes - downvotes). In your example, 2 upvotes and 1 downvote is a net increase of 18 reputation. A user's reputation starts at 1, and can never go below 1. If the above 2 upvotes and 1 downvote are the only reputation changes for the user, or the only changes for the user after returning to a reputation of 1, then the user's total reputation is 19. | |

The amount of reputation you've earned from a specific tag may be more or less than the upvotes and downvotes you've received in a particular tag. It is very likely rep is not accurately reflected as score for a particular tag, or even the sum of the score for questions and answers in a particular tag. You gain reputation for upvotes, bounties, and accepts (both questions and answers, but not on accepting your own answers on your own questions). You loose rep for downvotes, but a different amount, so can't just use score, and bounties. Reputation gain is also limited to a daily max.

That answer does not say "there's no way to get all questions with a specific tag". That answer says it's not possible in a single request. The answer is saying that because the answer assumes there are > 100 questions with the desired tag and the SE API will return at most 100 questions per request. The answer goes on to explain how you can get all questions in a tag by making additional requests. | |
