'Reputation Earned' bug?

If you look at my 'Reputation Earned' page, there are a couple of recent +3 events, that seem to be bogus.

http://www.gamedev.net/user/47521-swiftcoder/page__tab__smrep (Look for 'Unity with C++', and 'Terrain Lighting')

Unlike regular reputation events, they link to a 404 page. And they aren't associated with any rating actions in that thread that I can see - I haven't received +3 total in either thread, nor have I given out +3.

Yep, got one of those +3's too, couldn't really figure out why.

Hypothesis: it looks like up votes by the OP of the thread are being given greater reputation effects.

Those are legit, but the routing doesn't seem to be working. This would seem to be a url rewriting issue. I'll look under the hood at what is going on.

What is going on is that the reputation of the person upvoting you is factored in to how many points you are awarded.

Most links should be redirecting properly now, but not all. I had to change the approach I use to redirect the links. All new reputation votes should link just fine.
