The other day, it was at 96%. This morning, it was at 88%. Now, a few hours later, it’s at 80%. What’s going on?

I’ve started a few communities and like it here. I try to be nice and upbeat. My posts have been received well, not seeing downvotes…

Edit Edit: After days of upvoting, I’m back at 96%. I juked the stats!

    Specifically, from looking at the code, it counts the most recent 50 votes on posts and the most recent 50 votes on comments for the calculation.

      Oh, that would have a much more dramatic short term effect than if it were considering all history or the like. Thank you.
