Feedback · Severely inflated room occupancy numbers apparently caused by repeated characters (solved)

This is happening, presumably related to today's update. No idea why.

to be clear:

  • Profiles are not being duplicated
  • Every roleplay has a list of people (profiles) who can post in it.
  • New posts were always adding someone to this list even if they were already on it due to an issue with last night's deployment
  • The deployment made as of 5 seconds ago should ensure step 3 works correctly (as it did before)
  • This is pretty much harmless, other than looking amusing and broken
  • It will sort itself out as soon as the profile that caused the duplications falls off of the post order
  • At some point in the future I may write some complicated SQL to try and clean this up

thank you for fixing it so it will always correctly add someone to the list even if they were already on it ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)

(but for real thanks for the super quick fix)

User counts are still high a day and lots of activity later.

It will sort itself out as soon as the profile that caused the duplications falls off of the post order

This might take a while. Many of these users can maintain consistent presence in the chat (at least 1 post every 200). Arbor Park has 917 users reported. The active core users number around 5.

I decided to bite the bullet and write some SQL to clean up the duplicates. This appears to have worked flawlessly. Please let me know if there are any more rooms with inaccurate counts.
