Comments on frontpage posts that go up quickly but then suddenly don't receive any votes in any direction makes me think you do freeze vote counts.

We definitely don't. But I'd love to see any links to posts where you've seen that—or if you see it in the future. It's an unusual case that I've never heard of before!

The reason I say we definitely don't is that we'd have to write code to do that, and I'd remember writing such code.

Thanks dang, I appreciate your efforts. I have no reason to doubt your word, and I may have imagined a pattern. I apologize for the accusation.
