Keeping track of the number of votes I receive for my stories, I have noticed that occasionally, when I do my monthly checks, that sometimes the vote count decreases from 1 to 3 or so votes from the time before. Is there an explanation for this? I wonder, if people officially leave the Literotica site, are the tabulated votes they gave others taken away as well? Or can you go to a story which you originally gave a 4 star rating (or whatever) and, in a fit of anger, somehow take back that score if you so desired? Or is it a computer glitch that will rectify itself at some point?

I realize this is pretty much a non-issue around here, basically unimportant in the scheme of things, but I've had it happen a number of times, and so I was curious to know why it happens, and if it has to others around the site also.

Thanks for the input.
 
There are periodic sweeps to get rid of potential duplicate votes. That's what you're seeing when you see your vote count decrease.
 
And getting rid of potential troll votes. Mustn't forget those...
