Feedback system

When I post comments in threads, It shows I have 24 feedbacks on my profile. When I go into the actual feedback it shows 29. Why is that?

maybe feed back from the same user a couple times...?

I was thinking that, but then again it should show being that it was seperate transactions right?

well I have 14 total and it shows 13, I have one member that left two seperate feebacks. Must be only one feed bac per member

Ya pretty positive it only counts 1 user once no matter how many times they leave feedback.

Ok, that makes sense as far as the count goes. Why is it that way though?

This appears to be true just by looking at your feedback. You have two feedback counts.

Members who left positive: 25
Total positive feedback: 29

To be completely blunt, it's that way because that's how the developer of the feedback system made it, and there is no option to change it.

However, it's not by any means a negative thing. Having those two stats separated prevents abuse of the system, but also helps visualize how often you have repeat transactions with the same user(s) as that could be viewed as a positive as well.

Plus, IMHO it's much more telling of a user who has 25 positive ratings from 25 different users than someone who has 25 positive ratings from 5 users 5 times.

That makes sense, Thanks
