Wtf

[mjl2010]

I know the voting thing is a bit messy. Trolls and all that. But here's one I never expected.

I've got five votes on a story just posted. But only three views. And I had three views before the story was approved.

SO WTF!

Votes update in real time, but views only update two or four times a day (every six or twelve hours.) Sometimes a views update or two will be missed for some reason and the more votes than views anomaly lasts for a full day.

Ah. Thanks for the info. I'm now up to 12 votes and still only three views. And my score is declining. Sigh.

Hopefully, I'll gain some measure back in the next sweep.

Scores usually do take a nose-dive around the eleventh or twelfth vote and the fraudulent vote sweeps usually do NOT remove those first few low votes. At ten votes, your story appears on the top stories list and a perfect score on the top stories list seldom lasts more than a few minutes -- the administration doesn't consider those "nobody's perfect" votes to be "fraudulent" unless there is some other factor involved.
