anonymous · Answer

yep in the music group. I just clicked on my profile thing and I was reading it and it said I had -2 medals. weird huh?

You can receive -2 metals when the quantum state of your group statistics is incorrectly summed due to an error in our qubit read arm.

JK. We screwed something up.

Ok, I've filed a bug in our tracker. We'll look into it.

Something must be wrong with the way we're updating medal counts when you a reply or question is deleted. We'll look into it.

Can't you lose medals when someone takes away their "best answer" from you and gives it to someone else? Maybe someone answered a question and 2 people decided simultaneously to give it to the other guy.

farmdawgnation · Answer

Nah, even still your count should never decrease below zero.

Yeah. I remember hector and I did a test on the "Deleting of medals" and posted our results in the feedback group.  I cannot find the results of our test right now because I'm on my iPhone (by the way my avatar looks great now on it :) ). Our results showed the medal count got screwed up after deleting happen.
