> but the user karma in their profile remains unchanged
The karma doesn't change immediately in my experience.
But the FAQ does say some votes aren't counted:
> Roughly, the number of upvotes on their posts minus the number of downvotes. These don't match up exactly. Some votes are dropped by anti-abuse software.
I am curious what prompted the pattern of behavior of voting and then checking the user’s karma.
To me, that seems like something that might correlate to questionable behaviors such as voting rings. Particularly when connected with Tor.
Not that there’s anything wrong with Tor. Just the combination of behaviors and caring about votes for others not counting enough to do an AskHN makes me wonder what the story is.
I just noticed that some comments I downvoted didn't become greyed out, even if they were very new and unlikely to be upvoted by anyone (breaking the Guidelines). This is why I decided to check that.
Also, the other way around, greyed out comments didn't become more sharp after my upvoting.
I've noticed that my upvotes and downvotes do not appear to affect comments like they used to, or at least there is now a delayed reaction to where I don't know if it's me or someone else voting.

It does if I upvote from the clearnet. I have just done it, and your karma immediately increased by one, from 4297 to 4298.
I tried with yours before commenting, and it didn't update
/shrug
If I don't see the karma update immediately, then I never see it later, too.
Have you checked the network request and response? Is it as per non-tor
I didn't and I don't think it's relevant, as upvoting the stories works fine and for the comments, links "unvote"/"undown" appear reliably.
Maybe stale user profile pages are more likely to be served via Tor.
Even after I wait a couple of days after my upvoting, the user karma does not change. I can also look at the karma in the clearnet.
