gollark: I suppose that could plausibly result in lyricLy marking down the rest?
gollark: Any other ideas? Or ideas about causes for some of the vaguer ones?
gollark: I can see many possibilities:- someone somehow revoked their 10/10 one- LyricLy decided that the 10/10 one was insincere in some way- LyricLy reassigned it 11/10 or something ridiculous- LyricLy marked it down for some reason (new better one?)- LyricLy accidentally deleted one of the 10/10 ones- LyricLy deleted one of them because it criticized his rule- marking system reevaluated
gollark: DId you randomly Ðelete them?
