I'm not sure I see the relevance to your link. I'm not talking about rep from deleted posts. Just seeing downvotes on own posts and such. See linked Q

He's saying even folks with lots of rep can be sensitive about small changes, @mhlester.

This should be available to all users, especially new users. New users need to know when they have posted something of low quality, so they can improve it and learn and become more productive users of SE. High-rep users already know to click on that achievements drop-down every 10 minutes. ;)

@pacoverflow you're not wrong, but click the linked feature request for the drawn out debate about it culminating in the status-declined. Hopefully an unlockable privilege would be more palatable. I agree most of the requests here could benefit all users.

@JonEricson, the lack of notifications wouldn't be so annoying (at least to me) if they didn't mask positive notifications. A "-40 user was removed" should not block me from seeing the +10s and +5s from upvotes on posts, but currently it does. Any chance of at least fixing that?
