This is due to the pending payout displaying total post rewards, including curation, and the post-payout total displayed being only the author reward. It's confusing and needs a change, but it's not due to top-level post penalties.
Yes! Shouldn't we also be aware that an edit was made? If this is already the case, then I may have missed it, but what's to say as a joke someone switches from a thoughtful post to an nsfw or similar post that you would not wish to have your name associated with and reputation tarnished. I'm not entirely sure how the blockchain handles that or if you simply have to go back and remove comments and remove your upvote. This is even more true of comments. Once someone comments on your comment you cannot completely delete your comment, only change it. And someone could completely change what they have said to troll someone else and make them look bad. As far as I know, edits do not show up in the blockchain like on steemd.com correct me if I am wrong.
@dantheman - I would like to avoid downvotes from the whales if at all possible.
If this whole thing turns out to be my fault, I have a great plan with the earnings which I think will be awesome for the community here. I will keep exactly ZERO % of it.
My goal is to not lose community trust. And I would hate for that to happen because I simply put the cart before the horse.
I'll revoke my down-vote if you corrected the info in the post. IMO a misleading post doesn't worth high payout. Please don't take it personal. Thanks.
By the way, you can set the maximum payout of this post to a lower value even zero, probably can only be done in CLI though, but I think many people here can help.
I've corrected my information, and vowed to split any remaining earnings that I can transfer among all the people here who have posted before it was brought to light that I was who was mistaken, not the system.
I think you should not be rewarded because plenty of people read this post over the last 15 hours and probably won't read it again. Make further inquiries before posting misinformation.
You can rest assured this will never happen again from me. Misleading people was NEVER my intention, and I agree that I deserve nothing from this. My power of deduction failed me here, and this is probably going to be the hardest lesson I learn here. I am so sorry. :(
If you made new quality posts in the future, I believe all of us will still upvote. Afaik nobody is going to set a downvoting bot against you. We won't take it personal, so I hope you don't take it personal as well. For this post, I agree with @pfunk that it shouldn't be rewarded much, since I'm unable to get contacted with the ones who upvoted with large SP to remove their vote, I'll keep my down-vote.
Understood. Thank you for getting back to me. I appreciate you guys only looking at this from a business perspective and not being vengeful like I've seen happen in other places. Adding this to the many reasons I love this place.
In the 24 hours during that post's lifetime, I only had a few other posts I made. I concentrated on that one because it was getting so much attention.
I hope I'm wrong about the whole thing, honestly, because editing (even in unreasonable clusters) is kind of important to me...and evidently to others.
Yes that should be removed. Sometimes you have to edit to correct inaccuracies or based on new information. We are already limited on this by the 12 hour rule. Limiting it still further is going to cause a lot of problems.
It could be a bug and further analysis is suggested. if possible.
Specific example:
in the past 24h I had:
One of the posts that had it's payout a few minutes ago had a value of over 900$ before the Payout, total Payout was 344.352 SBD and 0.432M VESTS. Now the post is showing 688$. It's a difference of over 200$.

This is due to the pending payout displaying total post rewards, including curation, and the post-payout total displayed being only the author reward. It's confusing and needs a change, but it's not due to top-level post penalties.
Shit, I edited my post like 3 times yesterday, so am I going to be penalised if my next post is within 24 hours?
Cg
You should be fine
Sorry, @cryptogee . Didn't mean to alarm you.

It does as of now still appear to affect edits.
