This bug points out a bug where if you spam-like a topic, it will become a negative number eventually.

It seems like this bug is known from the forum I’m currently in. People abuse this just to ‘downvote’ posts, however, if you reload, the bug would be fixed and it was only visible to the person who spammed the like button anyway.

Will this be fixed in the future?
