It could also potentially be that the game assigns a tag to a player for testing positive and then just gives that player a displayed "Disliked" for this, since I've never seen a player go below "Unknown" without testing positive. So given this setup, your previously popular player may still be "popular" in the variable that decides what a player's popularity is for everyone that hasn't tested positive, and the game might just look at this variable to make the list of most popular players, without consulting the tag for testing positive. Just a thought.
