Meta - Double points?

Lately (it looks like since the last MGoPoints rule change), I've been getting double points every time I receive an upvote or downvote. For example, if someone votes me +1, my account lists 2 points for receiving a +1 vote and 2 points for someone voting on my content for a total of 4 points. Is anyone else seeing this?

EDIT: post not intended to open the "meaning of points" argument, just seeing if the blog was working the way Brian wanted it to, since there were so many pixels spilled trying to get it right recently.

Sweet

Does this mean my MGoPoints Stock has doubled in value in one week? Hell of a return.

Actually,

the system creating more points is causing MGoInflation. Points are now easier to come by, so yours are worth less.

Oh crap

I guess I better send some gold in the mail to Brian and wait for an MGoCheck to arrive in the mail. Damn economy.

I didn't think anyone else noticed this. I thought I was seeing things, albeit good things.

I got this too

I guess I just figured that they both weren't counting and that I was actually just getting the correct amount of points, but maybe they are double counting?

It's part of the leave no blogger behind program. If you can't get the points we'll give them to you. Not complaining because it somehow makes me feel better about myself.
