    Brief Description:
    The vote GUI is very very laggy. This is causing annoyance, but the real problem is that it gave me more nstars than I was actually able to buy
    Instructions:
    1. Wait for ./vote to lag a ton.
    2. Make sure you have votepoints
    3. Go to buy an nstar and spam the green block (The yes button)
    How many times did you recreate this?:
    I was told to post this by a mod, and it seems like a possible exploit. I don't want a ban, and I'm not comfortable recreating this. It also seems like had I been trying to exploit this, that I could have received way more. Especially if you save like 50 votepoints, I think you'd be able to make it lag enough to give you almost double what you earned.
    Result:
    It was supposed to let me purchase 3 nstars but allowed me to purchase 5. I have a feeling it was lagging to bad deduct my votepoint balance, thus allowing me to purchase more than I had points for.
    Expected Result:
    Buying the right amount of nstars
    Evidence:
    No evidence other than me putting the 2 extra nstars in a separate chest for someone to come take them if needed.

    Can confirm

    I also want to add that there is no chat notification after you vote on each site to confirm the vote went through. I thought I wasn't getting the voting reward, but after checking, I am still receiving the rewards. So, the notification might be tied into the /vote gui bug(s) as well

    After voting today, it showed I had one votepoint. As opposed to the normal 7. It allowed me to purchase nstars like normal. I wonder if the vote gui is just showing the wrong amount of votepoints as opposed to some type of exploit

    We have just made some improvements to the voting system that should prevent this happening.
    I get notifications after voting just fine.

    Keep us updated if issues persist.
    We had some major caching issues, amongst others which should now be resolved.

    Thanks for letting us know.
    Unfortunately the voting system is once again broken.
    ETA on fix is about 24-48 hours.
