There are measures to detect voting rings, and it's plausible that you've triggered the detection mechanism. Think about the problem. Anyone can create a dozen accounts and upvote their own stories - of course there has to be some protection against it.
If you and your friends participate regularly and upvote other stories as well then you're less likely to have a problem, but the exact algorithm isn't public, so I can't say with certainty.
- borski 16y agoRight, I grok that, which was why I asked. Both of the people whose votes aren't counting in this case also participate regularly... And, on top of that, when I upvote their stories, it works just fine. Hence the confusion, and question re: clarification from PG.
