It seems that a lot is going on - in secret. Example: I just discovered that if I reload the page my votes for comments get rolled back.

- blasdel 17y agoIt wasn't rolled back: it was never counted. There's a disenfranchisement heuristic that causes your votes to be recorded (can't vote again) but not counted. It usually persists for about a day. I think it's supposed to kill voting rings but its behavior is pretty odd. The number in your browser gets incremented or decremented client-side independently of reality — it's doing a blind GET request by pre-fetching an 'image', not making an XHR POST and getting the new karma value in the response. Like a lot of things in Arc, it's just poor HTTP.
