The other day, it was at 96%. This morning, it was at 88%. Now, a few hours later, it's at 80%. What's going on?

I've started a few communities and like it here. I try to be nice and upbeat. My posts have been received well, not seeing downvotes...

Edit: I'm marking this solved. I understand it now. Thank you all for being so helpful!

Edit Edit: After days of upvoting, I'm back at 96%. I juked the stats!

In my experience it does not draw on very long periods of data, so most of the time I will be at 100%, then if I spot bad content it'll drop significantly. Nothing really to worry about at all.

Specifically, from looking at the code, it counts the most recent 50 votes on posts and the most recent 50 votes on comments for the calculation.

Oh, that would have a much more dramatic short term effect than if it were considering all history or the like. Thank you.
