wrong karma score #423

Open GoogleCodeExporter opened 9 years ago

GoogleCodeExporter commented 9 years ago
What steps will reproduce the problem?
Go to http://lesswrong.com/user/Vika/overview/

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?
I expect to see a karma score of 50 for the last 30 days, instead it's 464. 

What version of which web browser are you using? On what operating system?
This shows up on Chrome and Firefox, on my windows 7 computer and on my android 
phone.

Please provide any additional information below.
This bug started after I reposted my latest post from Discussion to Main. The 
overall karma score of 138 is still correct.

Sorry, I was confused about how karma works for posts in Main. The 30-day karma 
is correct, it's the total karma that's wrong.

Can you elaborate why this is not fixable? The 30-day karma and total karma are 
clearly inconsistent.

Sorry I totally missed the, "it's the total karma that's wrong", part.

Votes on posts in the main section are scored differently to those in 
discussion. They receive ±10 points per vote, does that explain the difference?

The post in question was moved from Discussion to Main. The upvotes the post 
received after it was moved got 10 points each. Were the upvotes received 
before that also supposed to get 10 points each? Thanks!

Once the post is moved the code that calculates karma has no way of knowing 
that it was once on the discussion section. So all votes will be considered to 
have been made on the current section the post is in, thus each one will count 
as ±10 points.

When I moved the post to Main, the 30-day karma score adjusted to multiply the 
old upvotes by 10, but the total karma score did not. I think there must be a 
bug there.

Currently I have two posts in Main, one with 74 points and one with 34 points, 
so the total karma should be >1000.
