OJOC banned by API (Was: Downvotes not registered)

Issue #20 new
Christian Fibich repo owner created an issue

The API accepts downvote requests (HTTP 200), but the downvotes are not registered (i.e., the 'voted' status and the number of votes is unaffected).

Upvotes are working

    I had the same problem. Apart from that, I could not create any new posts and my comments were invisible to others - that's a sign for being banned. I created a new account and it worked again. I assume that OJOC does not completely behave like the real app (maybe they changed some minor detail recently) in some situations and then they suspect the account to be a spam bot and ban you.

    EDIT: Nevermind

    I'm currently getting error code 477 when up/downvoting (iirc code 477 means invalid request signing). Other stuff still works, I'm using the 4.34 api secret, the account is verified using the captcha challenge.

    Can you guys confirm this behaviour? I'm using my own API (https://github.com/nborrmann/jodel_api), maybe I'm doing something wrong, but it worked before.
