Thanks everyone!
Several days after I posted a suggestion that we rename the scoring system from "Karma", I was feeling kind of bad that my post had earned me nothing but downvotes.
Imagine my delight when I came to Less Wrong today and found my Karma Score to be 4,294,967,293. You guys are the best!
I've raised an issue for this and fixed your account #121
While this may be obvious, I feel that I should point out that there may be an overflow error in tracking Karma using an unsigned int.
Yes it seems like it but I'm not sure why its happening. Python doesn't have an unsigned data type. I suspect its the cache causing it as reloading the user's account from database corrects it.
I currently see his score as 4 billion again, and the same goes for Marshall. At the same time, "top contributors" doesn't put users with underflown karma on top, so it must be a problem with representation.
No, I'm sure the Top Contributors sidebar just leaves off anyone with karma higher than Eliezer's.
See? This is why we need a 'funny' button. Slashdot really had the right system all along.
