I cant remember if this has been reported before but I know the system has been considered dodgy for a while and I just accidently did something that proved it. What happend is as follows:

I accidently clicked Meh on cosmic and then quickly clicked Woo to cancle it out, but it ended up getting the total figure wrong.

To start with cosmic had 4 karma,
I then clicked meh and she had 3 karma,
I then clicked woo and she had 5 karma!

Thats plainly wrong, either it added on two karma points when I clicked Woo or it undid the Meh and then added a Woo as well. THATS WRONG!!!!

Fancy letting me look at the code Nodd?

That's not wrong. That's how it should work.

Half the time it doesn't work properly anyway, but that's beside the point, (or maybe that is the point?).

Did you do the math there hudders? 3+1 = 4 not 5, I would call that a bug not a feature.

You're negating your meh when you woo. If you want to make it better, an idea would be for whichever button you click on to be replaced by [UNDO].

[UNDO] would obviously undo your last action.

did you wait for it to say cosmic had 3 biscuits or was your realisation of your mistake quick enough for it to stop giving cosmic the meh and give her a woo instead? cos then the maths does hold up.

If User A has 10 biscuits and User B decides to use a Woo or a Meh,
they are like daily alterations if you will.
User B decided to Woo User A, so it is seen as a +1 biscuit enhancer.
If User B decided to Meh User A, then it is seen as a -1 biscuit diminisher.
Seeing as you can only do one of those every 24 hours,
you could see the alterations as being logged every day, allowing you to enhance/diminish throughout the week.
The thing about the system is that you can swap your Woo for a Meh and vica versa,
and this isn't restricted from the 24 hour rule.
So when User B (Ironbat) added a -1 biscuit diminisher to User A (Cosmic)'s 4 biscuits, she had 3 left,
but he then swapped it for the +1 enhancer, which made it 4+1(=5) instead of 4-1(=3).

I hope this clears everything up Smiley

Frankly it surprises me that you had to explain it so thoroughly.

HAHAHA Cheesy

On a side note I was thinking in terms of increment and decrement, not some kind of flag that is factord on a daily basis, makes more sense now.
