Question: Today, I reached 200 rep, but 20 of them came from a now-deleted post (a duplicate answer posted really close in time to the first answer). I stopped getting rep from my answers after this was deleted and I hit 180 reputation on posted answers today (180 + the 20 from the deleted = the cap of 200).

After a rep recalculation, I will lose the 20 points from that deleted answer (I'm pretty sure). But will the system detect that I made more than 20 points after that and give me any rep from after that?

The only reason I care is because I want to reach 20k before the Boston Dev Days...

Personal Example:

* 200 rep earned to hit cap
* 3 more upvotes for 30 "potential rep"
* Answer deleted wipes out 2 upvotes to drop down to 180 rep.
* Rep limit after recalc **should** come out to 200 with 1 upvote left over due to cap.

Answer: 
Well, if you **really want**, add a comment here and I'll try it. **However** You'd need to accept that you might actually *lose more rep* from other deleted posts etc.

The other day somebody requesting a rep recalc lost ~450 points.

On your head be it; there is no preview nor undo. Let me know.
I think so, a rep recalc computes all your reputation from scratch, so the rep cap would be taken into account without counting the now deleted post and you'd get the reputation from the subsequent posts
