I just rated an answer! The answer was 34. When I clicked rate answer, instead of giving six, it gave 11. Has anyone else had this experience?

No, it could be the latest AB glitch.

That just means that somebody else rated it with a five at the same time. It happens now and again
-
never, pretty cool though!!

Either it had five points you didn't notice, or it didn't show you (ratings are the LAST thing put on the page). It could have been uprated 5 JUST as it moved the record number into the display number number, so it showed you the 0. THEN in moved the record number (now changed to a 5) into a variable to add the ratings up behind the scenes, Then when you added your 6 to it, it would move the calculated rating into the display rating, and VIOLA! Looks like you gave 11 points. It's all in the programming.

It happened to Galooly. He rated me +11 somehow earlier today.

Yes, it's happened to me before, lol

Could you have DRed it at one point with a -5 and given it a +6 now making it look like a +11? While it's unlikely that you would give a +6 to something you DRed with a -5, sometimes, people do accidentally hit the -5. No one had mentioned that possibility yet, so I thought I'd throw it out there.

No, Ive never had that happen to me.

It's like a lottery system for Answerbag. Everyday, a question and answer benefit from the "glitch".
-
Yes, I've had it happen many times. When other users rate the same question at the same time, it jumps like that.
-
No, it's never happened to me. But feel free to try to rate my answers and see if it does it again! lol
