You must have changed the CPP function and gave it 4 up votes and then set the CPP back on? I gained 4 CPP points. Right now I show that my comments have been up voted 179 times but I only have 21 CPP, so its working. I'm not gaining CPP points.
Well, so far it's working in just the way I expected. You get your CCP when people upvote comments and you can also upvote. You are just restricted to when you are allowed to downvote. I don't understand what that fuss is in the sticky thread..but now we are testing and have the proof. It's late where I am so I'll sign off until tomorrow.
System lag. The voat server is not running in real time with my comments because it is handling thousands of comments. When the load is heavier the voat computer server is slower. It is adjusting my points according to the speed that I post them and it is trying to keep my point tally at 17.
When my points go up a little bit that means it just has not had time to subtract them yet. This is what is happening if the system is doing its job the way puttitout has it set up.
EDIT: forgot to post smurfy numbers but i edited this within 20 seconds and added it.
To me being hidden from v/all is an irritation but not a dealbreaker. There are other ways to get info out. And Lord knows with some of the posts that are being upvoted and allowed to fester on the forum it may be a blessing not to have the wider world see the crap we have to wade through.
I don't think the code is buggy. It makes no sense to have a rule where no matter what limit you set for CCP the points do not increase when people upvote comments.
What I meant by buggy code is this: If we gain CPP from doing this then the code is buggy because we should not gain any CPP with the CPP setting at 100. We have both verified that it is at 100. So, since we are not supposed to gain points at CPP 100, if we do, then the code is buggy.
puttitiout did this change on purpose 6 months ago to stop "vote farming" which is a way to cheat and gain up votes for a user name.
And I agree about the visibility to v/all. Its nice to get the info out but some of the stuff that gets left to rot on the board for hours before it gets deleted doesn't need to be seen. Good stuff gets deleted quicker. Its a pattern.
This is how you know kevdude wasn't bullshitting us. In the mod toolbox it says this.
WARNING: If minimum CCP is higher than 0, this subverse will be hidden from /v/all and votes will not increase user SCP/CCP.
Sorry to be thick but how does one accrue CCP then ? It appears to me that your CCP count is going up as I upvote you.
The code was changed six months ago by an owner of voat username puttitout. According to what I understand, the way we have this set up, smurfy69 should not be able to gain any points the way we have this set up.
If we gain points it doesn't mean kevdude is lying, it means something is buggy in the code or something.

I thought it just disables the ability to downvote until you reach 100
Negative. It is supposed to stop you from down voting AND keep you from accruing any CPP points which has been the huge point of confusion for everybody. It also limits how many comments I can make per hour until I get 100 CPP which is why I am not replying to your comments.
This is a screen cap I just took of the dashboard settings. It is set to CPP 100. I verified this by going into the mod tool box and took a screen shot. https://files.catbox.moe/y5f524.PNG
If we understand this system correctly it should take these points away.
I got your invitation but the link was bad. I have done some testing once before, someone sent me an invitation, and the link was also bad. probably a voat code problem. I will stop commenting for a minute and look inside the dasboard. I see myself in the sidebar.
I can't see the cpp in the sidebar like pizzagate but i saved your image of the settings you used in your mod dashboard. I up voted myself from my other name.

I still don't see a CPP setting in the sidebar like v pizzagate though. Don't know why.
I also don't see the mod toolbox link in the sidebar. I could see it when you first set this up but I don't see it now.

I just up voted that comment.
Smurfy can't down vote. This is the message smurfy69 gets when he tries to down vote.

Had to edit to add smurfy69 numbers. I got it within 30 seconds though.

You should check if you can downvote a comment. I think you won't be able to until you hit 100 CCP

So I should be flattered that I had a post deleted within 5 minutes today by MF. Lol.
smurfy69 ago
It took my points away. I was at 22 and then I slowed down to give the system time to think. Now I am where I started at CPP 17

That's odd. So why take away 5 CCP?

It took back what I gained. I'm doing it a little slower to allow for system lag. I am also up voting myself from another account.

Okay. But as far as I can see your CCP is going up.
smurfy69 ago
The CPP setting for the sidebar might be something that has to be done manually. I don't know. But I saw the image of your dashboard settings.

Your CCP is now 17. Can you see that ?

Have you received an invitation to moderate on your other account?

if you comment again I can upvote again. I will also make ESOTERICshade a moderator so you can see the dashboard too.
smurfy69 ago
smurfy may be out of comments for the next few minutes. i don't know if that limit is per subverse or per voat site wide. getting ready to try now.
smurfy starts with:
