Possibly some of your old posts got upvoted in the mean time.
So you say, this is the counting system for the last 30 days? It is the up and down votes for the posts not older than 30 days?
In that case, it's a feature.
Yeah, I think it had been noted that Eliezer kept getting "top contributor, past 30 days", even in months where he wasn't present in LessWrong at all -- just because people were upvoting past posts he made.
It was so decided that "past 30 days" should be counting votes on posts/comments made in the last 30 days, as better indicative of this month's contributions. Feature, not bug.
God does not have an account on LW yet. Unless you were speaking metaphorically?
God wouldn't need an account to upvote. It would require less total divine intervention to just flip the specific bits where the vote totals are stored.
Presumably, God wouldn't need to upvote; it would be more effective to simply induce the desired behavioral changes directly. Though that would admittedly be more distinct interventions.
