Points/Upvotes

I know I brought this up before. But are these definitely working?

I often think how on earth is it worked out, as I see how many I have got, and cannot attribute how I have got certain points. (I know, I don’t get many, so it’s easy to keep track). So unless somebody is upvoting old posts of mine, it would suggest points are being attributed incorrectly.

I also just noticed that pap upvoted a post of mine, and my score didn’t change.

I’m never entirely convinced they’re calculating correctly but I think sfcsim reading and appreciating old posts will explain why you’ve had unexpected upvotes. (See his previous thread on it).

But I’m generally in a sulk about upvoting numbers at the moment given I have the lowest average of upvotes vs posts made. Either I post a hell of a load of shit on this form (entirely possible) or my posts are just too controversial for anyone to handle, or you f*ckers are just pretending to be friendly. One day, probably after I’ve had a few too many, I’ll vent my frustrations! Watch out!!

What a monster you’ve created Papster!

:wink:

You’re the culprit! :wink:

But seriously, I’m going to attempt a less is more strategy. Well, at least, after this post :slight_smile:

Just takes confidence. This post will get the most votes in the entire thread.

I don’t mind doing reports, if people are into that sort of thing. One thing to remember is that the sidebar lags behind for performance reasons. Go to Leaderboard to get your most up to date score.

I will do a sanity check though.

I would like a check of lou’s sanity please.

Pap, when you’re ‘fixing’ the upvote thing, can you also delete the funny little space that always crops up at the start of each reply?

Whatevs, Goaters. :slight_smile:

Going to norwich game lou?

Nah, I can’t. Next one for me is Man U. You up for that one?

Feel like I’ve deserted the Saints so far this season!

I’ve been wondering about this league table thing. I am hardly on it. Not chasing the upvotes and not posting enough. But wondered if it’s really something that’s needed? I don’t care if Pap or me or anyone is at the top or bottom. Is there anyone who really has to be on it?

Yep. I will be there.

Yep, I too wonder about the upvoting at times, Intiniki.

i.e. how can it be right that Bear produces one of his brilliantly crafted and funny chapters on KL yet receives less votes than Barry does when posting a Dennis Skinner quote!

Does Bear still do these KL stories? sarcasm emoji.

Well, if it’s up votes Bear’s after (which I’m certain it isn’t!) he’d be better off just posting that all Tories are cunts :wink:

I always upvote Bear when uses the C word. Only he can make it sound funny!

No wonder Goaters is acting all smug - he’s top of the average points per post league table!

Goaters = 2 points per post

Halo = 1.9

Bletch = 1.7

Sad old Lou = 1.2

Pah.

I’ve checked everything and nowt is awry.

Here are point totals and a breakdown of points from posts this week. Everything else comes from badge points, and you can resolve that with the Activity tab.
