Missing Upvotes

Question

I went through several of KCotreau's answers yesterday upvoting, showing my appreciation using the upvotes I had left near the end of the day.

This morning, I found none of my votes for him from yesterday have apparently been recorded.

Please check this out and provide an explanation.

Answer 1

You triggered the filter that prevents too many upvotes from user X to user Y in a certain time period.

@DanielBeck and I had this problem before, but it seems his votes got through after all – there was a misunderstanding involving reputation recalc.

The details of this filter aren't known, and obviously won't be undisclosed, however the general rule is: If you spend x votes on user X, you should probably spend the same amount on other users too.

Apart from that, there's nothing to be done about it.
