Problem with the Ranking system?

MauriceC — Fri, 03 Jun 2016 19:02:30 GMT

Yesterday 2/6/2016 I received notifications at 21:25 and 21:55 that I had "Ranked up to xxxxxx". Only bothered to check a few minutes ago - and my rank hasn't changed.

Not fussed about the status, but it's odd to have received the notification and no action?

Not sure how it all works, I have never had a notice, but something keeps it ticking along!

Even stranger I just got n email saying "anonymous" accepted my fix! Still a few teething issues methinks!

I don't know if this applies here, but these reports can be generated if changes are being tried on the scoring system to check effects.

The ghostly behaviour of anonymous is a known feature that is being looked into.

How do you know that this is being looked in to ?

as @LouisaMartin has FAILED to provide a list of what issues are being investigated, and what has been rejected.

I have changed the status back to unfixed, there is no answer yet.

Why was the post containing the fix removed ?

Re: Problem with the Ranking system?

Mav — Sat, 04 Jun 2016 11:28:07 GMT

No posts have been removed, just the fix has been removed but the post remains.

The strange ranking notices are known, but as you can appreciate pretty low on this list compared to issues like the Rich Text Editor and other related matters. And just to be clear the Rankings are an in house tweakable thing whereas the RTE is Lithium.

@Anonymous no problem

Once again this thread has been accepted as "Fixed" when clearly it hasn't been. Message 11 which was given as the "Fix" clearly accepts that it is a known problem but on the 'Low priority' list of things to be addressed. Ergo - a bug!

I can accept that it is of lower priority than other identified problems, but after 8 weeks of no identifiable progress on those high profile bugs the probability of a fix must be very low.

Many components of the service are now inconsistent, unreliable or sometimes both, such that overall confidence and trust in the new features has been eroded.

@MauriceC - I see no fix here so I assume it has been undone, and if the truth be told quite rightly too, as it's not a fix until it's fixed!

Re: Problem with the Ranking system?

Anotherone — Sat, 04 Jun 2016 15:05:34 GMT

Yep, it has been unfixed!

Oh! I thought it was something to worry about Thank you for the explanation.

Re: Problem with the Ranking system?

MauriceC — Sat, 04 Jun 2016 17:22:48 GMT

Nah! It's just a bit of dressing - but if it's there and the system is sending out automated messages then it should be correct. If the automation could be switched off???
