My reputation went down 170 points before 5 minutes

Also it has gone down many times,

I have almost lost 1000 reputation and I cannot see the deleted posts.

What is going on?

It is not about reputation but, ok 170 rep in an instant is weird.

I understand that is someone answers low quality posts of new uses then the answer may be deleted, so you lose rep from there and I try not to answer low quality posts, or users with some rep that I believe they dedicate time to contribute to this site.

So what do I have to do to maintain my rep? Do I have to answer question from users with, more than 10000 rep in order not to lose 1000 rep in one month?

    $\begingroup$ No sir, of course not. You should not discriminate just because someone does not have more than 10k. What I think you should do is not to answer PSQ nor duplicated ones. Because believe it or not, well writen questions (but duplicated) with helpful answers, are likely to be deleted too. $\endgroup$

    $\begingroup$ Since you are above 10k, you should be able to see your deleted posts by searching for deleted:1. See also here: Is there any way to see my deleted questions or answers? To keep track of your reputation, it is useful to use the checkbox "show removed post" on your reputation tab. See also: Where reputation disappears. $\endgroup$

What is going on?

Seven questions with the tag you answered were in three recent deletion lists of the CRUDE room:1,2,3. They have been deleted:

This explains your 170 missing reps.

    $\begingroup$ @MariosGretsas: That is a matter of taste. To identify duplicates, one can use Approach0; see also math.meta.stackexchange.com/questions/29265/… $\endgroup$

    $\begingroup$ Οκ...thank you..i can guess some questions whether are duplicates..but i should not answer question with minimum effort even if the O.P has an adequate amount of rep. $\endgroup$

    $\begingroup$ @MariosGretsas: I'm not sure what you mean by "adequate amount of rep." When you find a question not good, you could vote to close it. $\endgroup$
