I just created an account here on kongregate. I made it while playing a game. But, when I rated the game a 4 star, it went from 3.21 > 3.21. The game only had 100 plays, so I am just wondering why the rating didn’t change.

Judging by the 2 games you rated, I assume that you mean lavaflame2’s game. Are you on the same IP address? I know he’s been searching for ways to get his game exposure and someone told him to get his friends to mass rate his game. If you’re on the same IP, sometimes Kong doesn’t automatically update certain stats (like points for referring a new registration) until they verify that you’re a different person to lessen the chance of ratings/points fraud.

Stats also aren’t all updated in realtime. That would be a massive resource drain on a site this large. Visible updates occur regularly, but not constantly. Caching can also prevent you from seeing the latest changes to a page.
