so for the past week or so my upvotes on comments will disappear when I refresh the page. ive checked and I dont appear to be shadowbanned or anything. im really confused and annoyed as ive had this account a long time and im haven't done anything that would explain why I can't upvote comments.
I wonder if it is part of this bug: link
Usually this is a misunderstanding about votes.
if the arrow is still lit/filled it, your vote was counted but the number was fuzzed to stop vote manipulation bots from tracking whether their vote was successful.
If the arrow returns to "unlit"/hollow, then their may be a bug.
yes it is the second scenario. it isn't counted in the votes and also goes back to being unlit
Likely just a glitch have you posted (or checked posts) on r/bugs?
This has been reported a lot lately. I suspect they made changes to their vote manipulation detection and it's overdetecting now. I've seen quite a few posts about this.
