Has anyone else been noticing some major mess ups and glitches with the user ratings?
Or is it just my computer?
In the past week or so I've noticed some big problems and glitches with the ratings each user gets for his/her answer.
For example, when I answer a question, it will say I answered it "1 second ago", yet I already have 3 thumbs up and 3 thumbs down. That's not even possible.
Then I refresh the page, and it says 2 - 2.
I refresh again; it goes back to 3 - 3.
I refresh again; its becomes 0 - 0.
And so on... I could refresh over and over if I felt like it, getting a different rating each and every time.
I've seen instances where the ratings have gone something like this...
4-6, 1-2, 2-3, 1-1, 4-6, 2-3, 3-2, 0-0, 1-0, 0-1, 5-4, 3-2,..... and so on... and on... and on... perpetually adding and subtracting numbers from both the thumbs up and thumbs down, with no "pattern".
The worst one of all is when the all the thumbs up ratings get transferred to thumbs down (or vice versa). For example...
1-8, 2-8, 2-8, 2-8, 10-0, 2-8, 10-0
or....
9-3, 12-0, 3-9, 9-3, 0-12, 9-3
So then, answers that are fantastically thought out and well written get seemingly "terrible" ratings.
And other answers that come from trolls, bigots, and spammers get fantastic ratings, looking as if they are fully approved by the community.
Only after the screen is refreshed several times might the ratings return to "normal". It's hard to know what's right and what's not anymore... which is upsetting, as I used to look to the ratings rather often.
Is anyone else experiencing these problems?
