I woke up today and noticed that my game had somehow achieved -1 dislike, viewable on both app and website, resulting in a 150% like/dislike ratio, with the ratio viewable only for the app. I am unsure when the bug occurred.
App :
Website :
Game link, showing the bug: COURS - Roblox
how did it even reach -1
also does that mean if someone else disliked your game then the dislike number will be 0?
What life would be like if math.clamp didn’t exist >:)
Well I’m not seeing the bug on iOS, but nevertheless congratulations for having the highest rated game on Roblox
huh… hm… wait what?
now im afraid of disliking any game more than ever. also i tried to see this on the roblox mobile app, but it was showing 100% instead of 150%, whilst web version was showing 150%.
nonetheless. with such absurd result in making the best game any human kind have ever seen, i am congratulating you in finally achieving both popularity, creativity and peace! good job. like, really good job.
update ; someone disliked the game and it’s at 0 dislikes again
Whatif the original disliker (or liker if weird bug) un(dis)liked? 1 dislike even tho noone disliked? (someone is prob abusing the roblox api, or roblox servers are um smokey)
My assumption (purely speculative), is that roblox has a counter in the game page data (total likes, total dislikes), and they obviously have many databases with varying datacenter locations that need to sync. Database syncs are not always instant, if a person disliked twice before the sync the database query would check for their dislike, doesn’t exist because its querying an unsynced DB, therefore inserts and adds another dislike row. Then when they remove their dislike, it deletes the 2 rows and updates the total with -1 + -1.
Hey uh that equals 0 idk what you’re getting at.
unless you’re trolling,
a + (-b) → a - b
adding more icecubes will make a drink colder (negative temp)
-1 + (-1) = -1 - 1 = -2
Thanks for the report! I filed a ticket in our internal database.
@Russian_TacoX confirm this or no more $200 apple giftcards
how did this become a math topic lol
how did -1 dislike manage to give the game a healthy 150%
my 18 year old brain can’t comprehend this
yep. totally what i just said
how did this become a math topic lol
dont be scared. its just a bug
since it was 3 likes and -1 dislikes in the image then
local likes = 3
local dislikes = -1
local ratio = likes / (likes + dislikes)
print(ratio * 100) -- prints 150
like what i said.
i dont want any math equations replied to me. so someone give me a non-math explanation
