Places can have NEGATIVE dislikes and favorites

I think it’s pretty clear what the outcome is when the bug is abused (the dislike count is negative which causes the like/dislike ratio to shoot way over 100%). I don’t have any reproduction steps but it seems to be with place botting as this place had up to around 8,000 players at the time it happened.

Here is another game with this issue. -80k dislikes is pretty impressive.

It appears this issue extends to favorites too.

WHATTT

I’ve talked about how this works in another thread before

And of course, a very relevant Tom Scott video

Race condition would probably be very hard to fix, it could at best be sanitised so likes/dislikes can’t go into negative values (and if it does, reset it to 0, or just recount entirely)

On this “anarchy” roblox group where everybody has all permissions who joins it, this game has negative dislikes lol, the craziest thing is that this happened only within the last day since the game is very new:

Is anyone still seeing this problem?

I am not sure if it is just me but according to this topic, the bug says that it is fixed while in reality, it is not.

The experience that the OP provided and from @/PeZsmistic remains the same thing, both containing negative dislikes.

@windsorKnot57 are there any updates regarding this?

yes there are still a handful of games that still are abusing this bug, was anything done about it?
