Feedback ยท Old suggestions have "lost" endorsement points on them. (solved)

At one point I had about 10-12 items endorsed. I noticed two to three weeks ago that my list dropped to about 5. This was in the same time frame with the bug that did not return points. Given that issues are resolved regularly, I assumed many items had been resolved and had dropped off that list. I had no way to find this problem before now, due to the fact that it wasn't listing these old endorsements for me any longer, and there is also no list of:

  • Feedbacks that I created (My Feedbacks is really My Current Endorsements)
  • Feedbacks that I commented on
  • All feedbacks that I ever endorsed regardless of current resolution state.

As I was recently browsing feedbacks, I found some that indicate I still have points in them, but were not listed in My Endorsements. They all appear to be "In Review" items out of about 5 found, but that could be coincidental.

This one is a good example of one where I am likely the only one endorsing the item. (It is 'conceivable' that my display erroneously shows that I have dedicated 16 points, somehow, and the 16 points on the feedback is really from someone else.) It shows that I have previously endorsed with 16 points. It shows that only 16 points are currently assigned to the endorsement in total. These 16 points are not part of my current 100 points, meaning I currently have about 129 points sitting on feedbacks that I have found so far. This example is not listed in My Endorsements.

This is probably a result of the auto-adjuster. When your points go over 100 for whatever reason (such as a faulty refund) it goes back through your old endorsements and "refunds" them. This makes them drop off of my endorsement list. These points are basically "duplicated", intended only for suggestions which are resolved and cannot have their endorsements modified.

The auto-adjusting logic just needs to look for "resolved" feedback instead of oldest. This should probably prevent this from happening in the future.

Okay, once again, I have spelunked into the auto-refunding logic and found it to be inadequate. It should be totally bullet-proof now, on next deploy, but we know how that goes.

This is something that will be fixed going forward, as always. The next time your endorsement points change it'll self-correct towards 100. Hopefully completely flawlessly now.
