Question

Help answer this question below.

If you accidently hit the DR button instead of the plusser, then immediately hit the plus button once you realize the mistake, does it still count against your approval rate?

    actually I think it causes the person you DR'ed to break out in a nasty case of red, itchy hives :P

    I always wondered what it looks like in their feedback.

    I think with AB's current lags in updating user information that if you change your DR to a UR soon afterward, then the DR won't show.

    Therefore, it won't count against your approval rate.

    I don't think it would count against you because I've made that mistake many times before myself and it hasn't affected me.

    I don't think it does. If you UR them, it immediately restores the points you took away with the DR and then adds your UR points on top of that.

    So, if you DR'd them 5 points, then UR'd them 6 points, you'd see their score go up by 11 points.

    It takes a few downrates before your overall score is affected, but it does, ultimately count, I'm pretty sure.

    I've accidently done that and fixed it right away. I looked on their feedback and it didn't show the negative at all, only the positive rating.

    I've wondered that myself. I've done that several times.
    I think it takes a few downrates though for your approval rating to be affected.

    I'm not sure, but I won't look down on you, if it doesn't.

    Way to go!! Now everyone is going to think you are a troll!! =D

    I think it takes a few Dr's, I have done it a few times only because of this tiny lap top I am all thumbs..LOL But what I did notice is when my ratings did drop, they came right back up once someone DR'd me and I pointed?? How weird!!
