Rating & vote count don’t match. Known Issue?

[SugarStorm]

Has anyone noticed their story’s average rating on the top lists not matching the number shown in the Control Panel under “Works”?

My story Side by Side shows 4.91 from 510 votes in the Control Panel.

On the “Last 30 Days” and “Last 12 Months” pages, it shows 4.91 from 522 votes.

“All Time” matches the Control Panel: 510 votes.

At first I assumed the Control Panel was lagging behind, but I’ve seen cases where even after the vote counts matched, the average rating still didn’t.

Not a complaint, just curious if this is a known quirk of the site and what might be causing it.

The top lists lag behind, particularly 30 Days and 12 Months. I had a story in Erotic Horror that didn't update for nearly a year.

I felt I was clear in my opening post but perhaps I wasn't

Last 30 Days and Last 12 Months show more votes than the Control Panel, ergo, unlikely they are lagging behind in this scenario.

Even when Control Panel "catches up", sometimes the average rating is not the same.

Votes get swept, particularly when there's a contest on (like now). I also think that sometimes illegal votes (for example in Incognito Mode, but from the same IP address) make it into the scoring on the top lists that don't make it into the official rating.

The stats are never in synch. They refresh in different cycles, and are never the same. The most accurate, most current, is your Control Panel. It updates in real time, while every other place takes a 24 hour snap-shot, or only updates when you refresh that page. Discrepancies up or down are because of the sweeps, which regularly remove dodgy votes.
