in reply to Strange Reputation Display

I studied a similar problem some time ago. Can't find it in the archives right now.

IIRC the plus + is caused by a fractal vote value of .5 such that a regex expecting an integer can't match.

There is a double counting in the model which requires dividing by 2, to calculate up and down votes.

Something gets out on sync here and one of the input values had a lost entry.

(IIRC those inputs are "total votes" and "reputation")

      Well, it just gets weirder. :-)

      Thanks for digging up the link.
