At time of posting this you are at 365 points. 4 stars is 500 points, so you have lost at least 135 points.Any reason that I would lose a forum star?

It's likely a thread or two got deleted as @Feric51 said.
Another way to lose points, though unlikely to have occurred in this case since you've lost a lot of points,
is if someone hit report at the bottom right on any of your posts.
If a report is followed through, you lose 1 point.
As others said the most likely reason would be posts being deleted. Have you had any PM's from the moderators stating you have had posts deleted due to content?
I know ZOS rarely deletes a whole thread and instead just archives them in a hidden section, that's why even if a thread vanishes your forums points don't change. However I don't actually know what happens when a post is deleted as it's been a long time since I annoyed the mods enough to warrant that.

No, no PM's. But thank you for checking in, was just curious about what the deal was and if others had experienced anything similar. Hopefully it was just some old deleted stuff.
Guess I better get commenting.

To be fair, if your post isn't out of line, but is directly responding to a post that was in violation, then yours can get eaten without incurring a warning. That's happened to me more than once.

That would be a lot of points in deleted threads. I think the OP might be remembering wrong. Sorry.
