Unless BGA has changed it, "level" means Arena league for Arena games, and elo category for simple games.

Again, only wanting to delete unranked solo games, since they don’t affect my stats against other players. I don't say anything about your particular case, just that it makes sense that the option to remove games from history doesn't exist. TBH, I find this whole reputation mechanic kinda pointless...

If you could selectively remove games from your history, it would lend itself to an even more skewed view of any player's activity. So I expect and hope there is no way to do it.

Not "every time". In 2 of your 12 games you were Van Helsing: https://boardgamearena.com/table?table=455713505, https://boardgamearena.com/table?table=462316548 You had a streak of 8 consecutive games as Dracula. The probability of 8 consecutive games as the same character, if chosen rando...
