Votes bug?

Question

Guys, have you noticed that bunch of posts(I've seen mine and other people's) that used to have been upvoted now have exactly 0 votes? Is this a bug or is sololearn changing its voting system?

Answer 1

must be a bug. sent them a report about it.
A quick fix: up vote your old comments, the count gets back to normal.

Answer 2

Yes, I noticed that. Seems like a bug.

Answer 3

Yes, I too think it's a bug, I've just sent them an email about all the bugs I've been experiencing recently.

Thank you guys. 🎈

Answer 4

Clearing app data doesn't solve the problem, upvoting does, but I have so many comments, i can't upvote each and every one of them. I'll just wait for the sololearn's fix. 😉

Answer 5

@Lord I don't see it any more so I guess it's fixed. I haven't upgraded the app and haven't got any response yet, but the fix seems legit. 👍

Answer 6

Yeah, it's a bug.

Answer 7

Hey, everyone.
just wanted to ask is this glitch still present somewhere.
I don't see it in any comments.
maybe this was fixed (I received a response so they fixed? ) or people voted those comments.
can anyone confirm or find if this is still happening anywhere

Answer 8

When I noticed that, I thought I got downvotes..😫😫😫

Answer 9

Personally I think that downvotes (DV) should not exist. The point of the platform is to help each other learn...how exactly do DV contribute to learning? To me, a DV is the attribution of bad motive, as if to scolded one. I assume everyone on the platform wants to learn, so rather than a DV, why not give a reply and help the person with an explanation (of course that assumes that you want to help people learn rather than brag about yourself). Bragging builds one up and pushes others down. That is what a DV does as well...just saying.

So why not eliminate the DV, it will make SoloLearn a better platform for learning. If a comment is spam it can be reported. If you don't like a comment or code, don't upvote it. If an answer is wrong or off the mark why not reply and explain why.

If someone's comments are abusive or unkind, report it.

That's my two cents.

I have determined that I will not use the DV functionality of the app as I feel it misses the mark on the spirit of the platform.
