What kind of point manipulation is Y!A engaging in now!?

There is a question that is open for voting and has 12 answers. However, only five of those answers load for voting. How is this justified? Can we now face the truth that Y!A manipulates scores and unevenly applies the rules?

Update:

JanetM, please do not insult my intelligence by suggesting I am too stupid to scroll down. If it's just a glitch, it should resolve when reloaded. Since I had to switch over to desktop to edit this question, I went ahead and opened that question in desktop and it has all the answers there. Otherwise, it's a waste of time. Fewer people will be willing to go to desktop to vote for the other seven answers so the voting is affected.

Update 2:

Voting's over and now all the answers appear. And I'm the one who's overreacting?

    It is more likely to be a glitch than something deliberate. You could report it to Yahoo here:-

    and tell them which question has gone wrong.

    I have noticed in the last few months that when they are told about bugs they often fix them, which they did not used to.

    Since the location of all the answers when in voting are randomized, voting isn't being manipulated. As mentioned, it is likely an artifact of scrolling, nothing more. Or a glitch, as the newer version does still seem to have those.

    It is a case of the manipulation of pointless points that serve no damn purpose. Alert the NSA, the FBI and the CIA.

    How damn intelligent is it to think yahoo is gonna manipulate voting for pointless points when they can't even be bothered to fix glitches?

    Everything on this site is a waste of time. Stay Calm and Waste Time! Must be horribly frustrating not being able to find your own answer to vote for yourself!

    Look at the bottom to see if they have a lot of TD's, but are hidden.

    It you can't find it there using purple go to another country and have another look for the hidden ones

    No, Y!A doesn't manipoulate scores. That's way over thinking and over reacting. Scroll down... the other answers will load. They only load if you scroll or page down to the bottom.
