Votes keep getting added?

Post by Only One In All »

I've noticed everytime I upload a new week to my OHR House K show, someone else keeps adding a vote right after. Although this seems highly unlikely, it has happened with Week Two and now Week Three, so it's either someone who votes just as I upload a new week, or it has to do with the automatic 3 star vote thing. It's just that it's making my show look really bad at the ratings(all of a sudden it says 7 votes with 1 1/2 stars).

I am also noticing this effect. It could be a coincidence, but I seem to get an extra vote after every time I update the game.

Moogle1, might this have something to do with how you make all games get a 3-star rating initially?

My game just jumped up another vote, but no one has downloaded it! Two votes since the update. O_o

Hmm, maybe. I'll take a look at it tomorrow. If that's the case, it'll be easy to remedy without affecting the legitimate votes, so don't worry too much.

Update: You are correct. I think your game gets a ghost vote every time it's edited. This hasn't been fixed yet, but it has been corrected, so ratings are back to normal.

Edit: Fixed now.

When I tried to edit my game, it wrote:phpBB : Critical Error

Could not update rating information

DEBUG MODE

DELETE FROM phpbb_rating WHERE user_id = 0 AND post_id = 4698

Dumb mistake. Sorry. It should be better now.

This is why I should test my fixes :(
