Dupeof takes away too many votes
I don't think I am imagining things.. One of my recent submissions was a dupe. It had 18 (or 17 .. looks 18 when I count the votes from the new video) votes when I did *dupeof . However, my total votes went from 21 918 to 21 891 .. which is a loss of 27 votes.
My dupe is http://www.videosift.com/video/Just-lock-this-guy-up-and-keep-him-away-from-gas-stations?noredirect
Votes went to
http://www.videosift.com/video/How-I-protest-the-high-price-of-gas
I am happy to do dupeof to my dupes, unless I end up losing extra ~ 10 votes every time
Is this a bug, or am I just crazy?

I've never noticed, but that's cos I don't pay attention but I do remember I think rasch bringing this up as some kind of bug so i'm sure you're right
There used to be a bug like that with the dupeof invocation. Lucky told me he fixed it some time ago and I haven't noticed it since then.
Comment hidden because you are ignoring dag. (show it anyway)
Are you sure that some people didn't vote for both posts? In that case, of course only one of the votes is counted. (though 10 votes seems excessive)
Even if some people voted for both, I shouldn't have lost more votes than the video had. It had 17 when I read the comment about it being a dupe. I think it got one extra by the time I had typed the dupeof link (mine being the first vote moved to the original, followed by 17 other names).
I wrote down my total votes before and after the dupeof, and like I said, it went down 27 votes instead of 18. It isn't a big deal in this case, but there are some videos that get way more votes before being declared dupes, and they might lose a lot more, if this is a bug.
I still love the dupeof command, just being a bit paranoid now!
Just a guess, but perhaps another vid of yours was dupeof'd or deaded right about the same time?
Dupeof has always taken twice as many votes as it should, but I heard lucky had fixed it.
You're right; it was another bug.
There was a different bug related to this that I fixed a while back, but there was another little bit where stupid siftbot had a typo and was doubling up on the vote subtractions. All affected user stats have been fixed.
Sorry and thanks for reporting. Btw, have I said lately how much I can't believe that you're in the top
15TEN Sifters of all time when it seems like just last week that you were unstarred and hit the top 15 Sifters of the week? Man you've been busy!Meatbag lucky760 has been roughed up for calling siftbot stupid - lucky760 picked the wrong bot to mess with.
Thanks!
And oh, I tend to get a bit obsessed and overexcited when I pick a new hobby! Besides, this is so much fun.
And MUHAHAHAHA! I have more star points than NetRunner!
Erm, I mean, happy to be in the Top 10!
