RE: Where did that person go? Why did they NOT come back and visit your blog? Losing votes? I WILL TELL YOU WHY!
A large part of the voting problem is due to HF19. I still don't care for it, and mostly for the reason you've stated here. You just can't vote like you used to... Votes are worth a lot more now, which I'm still not certain is the best thing, but your power drains so fast that you can't possibly keep up with the scaling of the community.
Agreed, after HF19 it w s fantastic for a couple of weeks, and then it kind of tapered off... which was part of the design I guess. It made using the vote slider have a much bigger importance.
The problem I have is the 7 day payout.
If I give someone a 100% upvote today. I don't want my voting power given 3 days from now to detract from that 100% upvote I gave someone 3 days earlier. But it does.
Alternatively, if your followers show up throughout the week, it gives you 7 days to get noticed by them.
The problem is when people see a 3 day old post, they are less likely to hit upvote.
I'm very thankful we're still in BETA. There is obviously some tweaking that still needs to be done. :)
Thankfully my votes are not a lot. So I made the decision a while back to just vote as much as I want. Either way, it’s a 1 cent or a 3 cent vote if I have not voted for a few days. Makes a little difference. I was just unhappy not voting at all on things. If I want to vote 40 times day I just do and if it’s a 1 cent vote then that’s just how it is. At end of the day it's still a 20% voting power regain per day.
Is it? I didn't think you got 20% back after 24 hours.
Well 20% during a 24 hour period. Timcliff explains it rather well in his blog.
