Hi @giddyupngo, sorry for the late answer.
I have now looked at your account log and your right. An error happed when you created your last post
and you did not receive your votes. Sorry for that :-/
There are some "funny" errors in your account log, so please get back if you do not receive votes next time you make a post.
I have now set your balance to 0.5 for the inconvenience.

Regarding where the votes come from, then they come from the other members. But as the upvotebank account are a member, it could also come it.
Thanks for the quick resolution. :-)
