I have a question about the daily bot upvote. You say "The bot can only upvote you once every 24 hours." but what exactly does this mean?@qurator:
Does it mean that regardless of time and date there have to be AT LEAST 24 hours between posts to trigger the upvote successfully?
Or does it mean that the bot only upvotes once per calender day? If so at what time does it "reset"? Many times I have posted on two separate calender days (adding up to not more than 2 posts in 48 hours) just to find out I "only" got one upvote instead of two. In those cases - while another day had started - there was "only" 22 hours between posts. Which effectively means that if we want to get qurator's support, we are "forced" to post at the same time every day plus X, or to miss out on votes regularly as the gap times between posts add up so that a day is "lost" by the end of the week if the gaps become larger than 24 hours.
Can you answer this for me? I do my best to upvote you 7+ days a week, but often end up with 'merely' 5 upvotes in return. I am not complaining here, just would love some concrete answer to this to maximize the effectiveness in using qurator's services and for transparency. I could imagine many users have similar questions.
Thanks for all you do for the community, and congrats on the witness situation. You do promote quality content and for that I feel really grateful in times of junk posts seemingly everywhere.
Much love!
Hi @paradigmprospect
Good question. Our old bot upvoted NEW posts only after it has been 24 hours since your last upvote. Thus if you had 2 posts in 24 hours, only 1 would get upvoted. There was a little trick for getting that 2nd post upvoted. If 24 hours after your previous upvote you could edit/update your post and it would ping the bot. Thus, you get your 2nd upvote. This is all old bot stuff though.
Our new and improved bot constantly cycles through all the members. It does take a little while to run through all the members but it is a lot better and more stable than the old bot.
Let's say you post 2 posts within 24 hours then the bot will upvote the 1st post. After 24 hours it will know you are due for another vote. It will then actively go and look for your most recent post and go upvote it. So the only delay there might be will be the bot cycling through the members. Each member take a second or 2 to check.
So in theory, you could post 3 posts in one day and then not post for a week. The upvotes will go out to all 3 posts. Hope this helps. Feel free to ask if you have more questions. =)
You guys and girls are SO AWESOME. It is precisely what I had hoped for and I feel very grateful for your concise and timely answer despite all the things you have going on. It clears up everything.
thank you <3 <3
