Reminder: Forum point counter sucks at counting

I want a signature already. @MissMurder

SnakekillerX · 2015-09-21 06:09:40 UTC

Is that how its suppose to work? I’ve got 18 points, and even if I add all my negatives with my positives there is still only a total of 12… which doesn’t really make any sense at all.

Broken I guess? or is there something we are missing?

_Sniff · 2015-09-21 06:20:13 UTC

According to the FAQ it’s not. I fixed the maths.

INSIGHTFUL– This point should be given if someone enlightens you on something you didn’t know. Whether it’s new information or a new perspective- it increases the value of the conversation as a whole. Marking a post as insightful awards 1 forum point.

DISAGREE- Users that disagree with a post can give their opinion with this reaction. Since a disagreement is highly subjective, this reaction doesn’t promote or bury the post or give any points.

AGREE– Pretty self-explanatory. If you agree with someone’s post go ahead and agree. Agree is worth 1 point.

DISLIKE- General Disapproval. Maybe someone said something naughty or wasn’t adding to the conversation in a positive way. This is worth -1 point

LIKE- A like is also pretty simple. It means you liked a post and is worth 1 point.

LOL- We love laughter! It’s the best medic! Uhh medicine. Anyway, it’s always a positive thing-this reaction adds 1 point to a post’s score.

FLAG: ABUSE/REPORT- If someone is being abusive, going out of their way to swear and curse, insult or harass you- use this. Please do not use this function lightly it will be dealt with strictly. If you don’t like or agree with someone do NOT use this. If a person has posted something in the wrong section do NOT use this. False reports of this will result in your own account being looked at. Abuse will subtract 1 point from the user that was flagged, so they are worth -1 point.

FLAG:SPAM- Please report any spam with this reaction- this includes any form of advertising. This is -1 point.

You’re still missing more, the ‘contracts’ are supposed to add points as well.

Ghosthree3 · 2015-09-21 06:22:38 UTC

tfw mine is broken so my agrees throw the bars out of scale.

It’s also wrong, I have more agrees than that. I think it stopped counting.

SnakekillerX · 2015-09-21 06:26:26 UTC

Odd, either way it still doesn’t seem to follow what is written.

Here is mine:

Total Rep = 18

0 Insightful
1 Disagree
2 Agree
2 Dislike
4 Like
3 LOL
0 Spam
0 Abuse

Even if I added up my disagree and dislikes with the rest (which I know I’m not suppose to do) I would only end up with 12, yet it has given me 18. Something is definitely broken as in actuality I should only have 9 rep.

Give this man his signature!

You’re right. Clown did you notice that “TheIntersect” has every badge ever? You’d think they would delete the test account. I should be the first with 500 lol’s badge :’(

Yes · 2015-09-21 06:33:48 UTC

It’s also weird how badly you’ve been affected by it. I’m only missing ~200.

_Sniff · 2015-09-21 06:37:32 UTC

Guess I’m OP, so they nerfed me.

Jokes aside, its REALLY frustrating. My place on the weekly and overall leaderboard are constantly blunted. Also signature should of been had 3 months ago.

Adam1 · 2015-09-21 06:40:49 UTC

I seem to be close to my score.

XavienX · 2015-09-21 06:45:34 UTC

I’m missing like 200 something points.

Adam1 · 2015-09-21 06:50:32 UTC

32-21+345-24+123+229-8-6=670

690-613=77

Correction: you are 77 points off.

lol… I did the math for his profile too, but decided not to post my findings… anyone else do the same?

(though I count 85 missing)

Total = 613

32 Insightful (add)
21 Disagree (these don’t count one way or another)
345 Agree (add)
24 Dislike (minus)
123 Like (add)
229 LOL (add)
4 Spam (minus)
3 Abuse (minus)

(add) 32 + 345 + 123 + 229 = 729
(minus) 24 + 4 + 3 = 31

729 - 31 = 698
698 - 613 = 85 missing

MarsRover · 2015-09-21 07:22:51 UTC

I have 240. I should have 260.

PLS FIX NAO

Ghosthree3 · 2015-09-21 07:25:44 UTC

Perhaps there are other factors that contribute to the Dirty Rep stat. I’d be surprised if it was just plain bad at math.

XavienX · 2015-09-21 07:30:44 UTC

AND the contracts @Adam
FYI: 200 was just a exaggeration as I wasn’t thinking and randomly put a high number. And also if you click on one of the categories of like the “agrees”, “likes” and whatnot, the numbers change, sometimes it goes up or goes down for me, dunno why.

Faraleth · 2015-09-21 09:50:23 UTC

Hmmm… I’m adding up people’s points and the outlier seems to be the “LOL” category, it doesn’t seem to actually add points for it (which could explain why @Sniff is so badly affected).

If you add up all the points except the LOL points and add on the values for each of the badges (which are 5, 10, 15, 20, and 25 per level, if I am not mistaken) then you get a very close number - so I must have missed something somewhere.

But as we have established a few times on this forum… my maths is not the strongest, lmao. But if anyone else could help me test this or see if their’s comes close, that would be grand.

Which means still that most of us have number problems.

(PS:I don’t want to say that extra 100 points for each of us would be great,but for me yes since i am LoL spammed :I)

I believe it is far more broken than this. Take mine again for example:

Dirty Rep = 35 (yay I can change my picture now finally!)

0 Insightful
2 Disagree
4 Agree
3 Dislike
4 Like
6 LOL
0 Spam
0 Abuse

No matter how you add things, its way off.

Ardez1 · 2015-09-21 20:29:41 UTC

@Sniff You mathed wrong +268 not +286.

But I also decided to math your profile a bit. Here goes.

With all of the pts+badges but WITHOUT LOLs I had you at 907 points(which was 64 points off of what I saw which was 971).

As a test I disliked one of your points and the score didn’t change. Removed the dislike and still nothing changed. I think it might be an issue with my cache that I need to clear(but I refuse to because meh saved datas!). So that test was inconclusive… Refuse to clear cache!!!
