Title: Bug regarding activity points
Post by: GazetaBitcoin on November 27, 2019, 03:28:50 PM
Hello,

Since last weekend (Nov 22-24), I noticed a big delay and also a bug in the activity points awarded.

To be more specific:
- for the posts I made on Friday (24.11), if I remember correctly, the activity was awarded on Sunday
- for the posts created afterwards, I didn't receive any single point of activity until today (27.11).

I know activity points don't update at a glance, but they used to update after a few minutes - up to a few hours. However, I didn't receive any activity point since Sunday, although I made posts everyday.

I'm not sure, but I think this might be related to another issue noticed in merit system recently - Betwrong's demeriting issue (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5204365.0).

Did anyone else enounter this issue?

Can theymos or another admin take a look, please?

Thank you.

Thank you for the fast reply, DdmrDdmr!
So the fact that until now I updated after a few minutes was just a happy coincidence...?

This is not always true.
Your activity is updated every 14 days, because your number of posts you have made is much higher than your activity. That's not the same for all the users.

The activity takes up to an hour to be updated. But you cannot get more than 14 activities in a two-week period and that's why your activity is updated every 14 days.

If a user makes 1 post per day, the activity will increase 1 per day.

Activity = min (number of posts, 14*number of two-week periods that you have made at least 1 post)

Ok, I'll take a look then at the end of current activity period. I'll close  the thread and open a new one if needed.
Thanks DdmrDdmr and hosseinimr93!
