Any chance article votes do not end up counting towards reputation?

Nice catch, I didn't pay attention to the wrong icon.

not sure, seems like a new vote and comment, and the title suggests (to me at least) it's a new one

like the other person suggested, didn't reach the limit that day (or any other day for that purpose :)

:confused: Righty-Oh ... I thought they are autogenerated when you vote ... never crossed my mind to leave a comment and manually type "my vote of x" as the header ... So, votes have the general one, and suggestions have the lightbulb ... oh i see .. Well, cheers for that, mystery solved :)

Yes, they do, as said Chris. But One can also forge a message with the same title and icon

Seems to me like a lot of work to "forge" one :) Unless you start looking at people who try to fake votes for their articles to get rep? Anyhow, looking at the author page, I doubt it's the case :)He's been around for eight? years ...

But all he's done is post 4 messages in that time, and not logged in very often, as his rep points show.

yep, but i was meaning it's probably a real user, and not a fake account that someone created to upvote his own articles.

[Patrice T]

Forging a fake My vote message looks fairly simple to me. 1) choose the General icon. 2) type the title My vote of 5 3) and type a congratulation message.

I wouldn't bother with doing it, since I don't see the point in that. But fair enough :)

And the fun of make the author wonder and come here to ask if there is a bug? ;P :laugh: :laugh:
