Ask HN: Are anyone else's HN points mysteriously increasing out of no where?
Despite not posting in several days, and none of my recent comments changing points, my points are mysteriously increasing at a steady rate
Worried bots have figured out how to game the system etc
- ggm 2y agoTime passing and upvoting by you adds to score slowly. So rate of change might be interesting, if it is non linear perhaps you could snapshot your comments posts and upvotes and see if your bot theory is visible as very old posts and comments being acted on somehow. I just upvoted this post and your score was 819 beforehand.
- markus_zhang 2y agoMaybe someone upvoted one of your earlier replies. It happens.
- firefax 2y agoMaybe you got better at posting? :-)
- brudgers 2y agoDid you comment on a story that went into the second chance pool? https://news.ycombinator.com/pool https://news.ycombinator.com/pool Sometimes it can be a few days before they pop up on the front page and people see your good comments. Good luck.
