is my profile locked or am i shadowbanned from voating? (whatever)

yeah i've been voting on voat for two days, and my vote counts are the same.

no other user i've talked to has this problem

cache refresh after a few minutes, and their profile voting habits change.

also, my post counts aren't changing nor are my comment counts.

what IS changing is the "total upvotes given" count top right of my scp and ccp count.

thanks to whomever started archiving my profile every few hours here between feb 9 and 10th you can see my comment count stop at 13052 and never move up, and as we all know i've commented plenty in the last 5 days. so that number is more like 13500 by now

note top right corner total upvotes given count same for months at 16665 add 6666 and 9999 up and you get that number.

but i've been voating, and the number right now is 16713

but count the votes given section 6666 9999 do not add up to 16713, and do not reflect how many votes i've voted the last few days.

the above archive selection shows late feb 9th whatever timezone archive is in my profile was frozen.

i'm not even sure my votes affect voat anymore.

** other users have tested this; their voting does increase their profile numbers.

** note, submission statistics are also frozen. test post and this post, whatever submission count still at 211

you see that big link in the post?

check the archives of my profile (apparently a few days ago someone decided to start taking archives of my profile every few hours?)

so feb9 to feb 10 you see my amount of comments posted stop at 13052 and never go up again.

so around that time, my profile was frozen, and whatever else was done was done.

I've noticed this. They are most likely using a nosql cluster. At any rate the data needs to be replicated to all the nosql nodes in the cluster and sometimes that can take quite a while. Also during certain operations especially when nodes turn off, spin up/spin down, fail, or get removed from the cluster the most current data can fail to replicate to the other nodes and get over written by stale data. Comment/upvoat count would be one of those things is likely to become out of sync every now and then or get miscalculated with stale data in a nosql solution due to the type of query it is and the most likely pattern for how the aggregate root would be structured for a forum application.

4 minute cache refresh on votes it seems.

SaneGoatiSwear 7.7 years ago

noticed this where. please provide evidence.

otherwise i'm not inclined to believe a fucking thing you say.

but i'm upvoating you to test if you see it in the FOUR MINUTES IT TAKES THE CACHE to refresh.

I've noticed it with my own CCP score. I was at 575 and just got two up voats that havent registered yet. Every now and then ive seen one or two never get counted to my total ccp score. Even more interesting when you click ccp and see all of your comments those counts will be different than on the thread or vice versa for some time and may or may not make it to your ccp score. Ive seen delay for multiple days as well. It really depends on how much traffic voat is getting hit with and how many users are using the site. The more users on and posting the more nosql nodes you need in the cluster and the more chance for things becoming out of sync along with taking longer to sync data to a congruent state across all nodes. This is an example of the old adage of computer science, " There are only two hard problems in computer science, naming things and cache invalidation." the described behavior being a consequence of the latter.

I will admit your numbers do look sort of weird unless you are specifically trying to balance them.

This user has so far shared a total of 148 links, started a total of 651 discussions and submitted a total of 13052 comments.

Submissions: This user has upvoted 6666 and downvoted 9999 submissions. Comments: This user has upvoted 9999 and downvoted 8888 comments.

But it also looks like something a bug could generate. Which is what i would assume first before manipulation. You are sort of in the upper echelon of posters with that many comments and submissions.
