    Odd behaviour. Why would anyone reasonable do that?

    @J.Steen Probably someone who's been pissed off at all the people complaining about his/her accept rate. Now it's time for "revenge". That said, I think this is unacceptable behavior - pun intended.

    @Mysticial That's indeed not reasonable, that's just childish and unacceptable (har har) - about as childish as the people requiring people to have a certain accept rate before they'll deign to answer the question. ;)

    Or someone who feels the community should select the best answer by voting, and does not feel the accepted answer should float on top.

    Wow, I sure didn't see this outcome from removing the acceptance rate...

    @Arjan no, I don't think so. In such case he would have said something, somewhere.

    @Bolt isn't it better to undelete those top answers?

    I'm wondering - is there anything suspicious in the user's access logs? Maybe, just maybe, there has been access from a third party.

    @ShaWizDowArd Unaccepting leads to easy, dropped reputation and bad will, as does deleting your own topvoted answers. If you want to defame someone in a not-so-obvious way, that's how I'd do it. Maybe I'm just sinister that way.

    I think we might have to keep an eye on @J.Steen as well with his sinister thoughts....I might just pre-emptively flag him for some moderator attention.
