As discussed , if you try to upvote a comment on a deleted answer, you get an error message:     Comments on deleted answers cannot be upvoted   Wouldn't it be better, though, if the upvote icon were simply not available in this case?

When you visit a question that you have asked or an answer you have given you can see on the left hand side of the screen buttons for up-voting and down-voting as well as the number of people of votes for the question.  When one clicks up-vote, a message appears telling you that you can't vote on your own question. I'm just wondering why the up-vote and down-vote buttons are even visible if they cannot be used.  When you hover over your own comments it doesn't give you voting buttons...so why should it do so on questions and answers that you own?

On the Android app, could we have the ability to flag comments we've previously upvoted? This is a fairly regular need for me, and I ran into it again earlier: I flag comments as obsolete when they are, and fairly often, one of them will be a comment I've upvoted.  For an example of a typical case: a comment suggests a great improvement to a question, I upvote it, the author performs that improvement, the comment is now obsolete and (on my PC) I flag it as obsolete. The comments get cleaned up and the question moves on.  There's a request that's been around since 2011 for the site itself: . It's implemented by SOUP (as described ), but the Android app doesn't have a SOUP available to add this functionality to the app for me.

Today, on C.SE, I reviewed some 'Late Answers' and First Posts.  I was not even near my daily vote limit.  And yet, I was given a message that said      comments disabled on deleted / locked posts / reviews   It seems I was not the only one either:   The workaround, of course, was simply to go back and provide the guidance - but was this a design or a bug?  If it is design, why would you want to discourage the feedback? Especially with first posts, there is often a high percentage of 'didn't read the FAQ' usage, which can best be addressed by gently providing guidance. (e.g. "Unfortunately, this doesn't answer the question" or "This reads like a comment" or "This really isn't on-topic here - can I suggest you checkout our [faq]" etc...)  Timely first post guidance goes a long way towards making good users.   If it was a bug, was other functionality silently rolled out?

I know Will was using his answer to  for testing, but I still think this is a bit odd:    I tried voting to undelete, but it just gave me the "nice try puny mortal, this was deleted by a mod" error popup.

Sometimes I leave a comment, then think better of it -- perhaps I decide to answer instead.  If I delete the comment, does the user still get notified that new comments are available or does the notification take this into account?  Are the comments hard-deleted or soft-deleted?

I think it could be a useful feature. From an experienced usage of the site, I have the impression as if they didn't see that, but I am not sure. I know about : it asks for the visibility of the deleted comments. This is about the visibility of the previous versions of the edited comments.

It's sad to upvote a comment on a post that's subsequently updated in a way that renders the comment obsolete and not be able flag it afterwards.  There may well be other cases where one would want to flag an upvoted comment too.  Related:     From November '09:  Note that this was before comment votes could be undone, so one slip and you were stuck.  The suggested solution there is to flag the post instead with a note about which comment to look at which is inelegant and potentially a problem as flagging a post can have repercussions beyond just bringing it to the mods' attention. From June '10:  Also pre-, which is presumed to address the problem, except that it doesn't in this case.     So here it is nearly three years later and this question lingers unresolved.  It's been positively received (no downvotes yet!), but hasn't gotten any developer response.  The problem that this change would address is still a problem.  The UI as implemented is still confusing: flags are generally orthogonal to votes on questions and answers, so why do comments take an either/or approach?  Comments are purposely second-class citizens, but this seems like privileging them--protection for comments that should be removed!

When someone deletes an account, the upvotes they left on comments are not removed. When they create another account, they can upvote these comments once again.  This is a problem, as you can give a comment as many upvotes as you want by:   Upvoting the comment Deleting your account Repeating 1 and 2 ad infinitum   This can even be done very quickly, since upvoting a comment doesn't require you to contact SE to delete your account (the "Delete" button will remain in your profile settings).  Please wipe the comment votes when a user is deleted. Right now it is very easy for users with the +100 rep bonus to game the system and disrupt discussions.

I have found that if I upvote an answer, it gets upvoted, but if I downvote I receive a message that the vote is hidden until I have sufficient reputation points.  Here's an example from an answer on  - on which I have .  If I upvote:    It simply gets upvoted - isn't that nice!  The trouble is if I downvote an answer, I get a message saying my vote is hidden until I have 125 reputation points:    And here is an example of a question on , on which I have :      So either this is a straightforward network-wide bug, or this is a Stack Exchange policy to hide downvotes from users with less than 125 reputation points - in which case perhaps the wording of the message is ambiguous?

When reviewing an answer in the low quality queue the question doesn't believe that I have enough reputation to comment.        I can't remember if commenting on the post not actually being reviewed was ever allowed?

As mentioned on :     For something that can be done so   easily by accident, there should be   the ability to undo mistakes.   I know that I have clicked several times on a comment up-vote without actually wanting to.  I would suggest being able to cancel the up-vote (maybe only for a couple of minutes or even less than a minute, no problem, as long as I can undo a miss-click).

Someone  to try and get help reopening , and it got deleted as a result.  I voted to undelete it and flagged it as well since , and noticed it has been deleted a 2nd time, with the same user initiating the delete vote.    I can also vote to undelete a 2nd time.  Why are delete/undelete votes not limited to once per user per post the way close/reopen votes are?

I answered a question and my answer was: (pick one)   Deleted Converted to a comment Added to my question as an edit   Why was this?  Why was my answer not acceptable?  What is the definition of an acceptable answer on Stack Exchange?

Currently, the system makes you think you can upvote/downvote your own question/answer but then you get notified that you can't. Why have the up/down vote buttons there then?   In general, if some operation is not allowed, then don't put UI for that up or make it disabled so it is apparently disabled - no post operation error panels please?  ps: hope this is not a dupe, but if so, just comment it and I will remove  (+a joke: a user notification panel message: I deleted this file. Is this a problem? Yes/No.)

I posted an answer on a stackexchange site, and it was deleted by a moderator. Admittedly, the analogy I used was a bit of a stretch and apparently people didn't understand it, so the deletion is understandable. I would be happy to edit the answer and make it clearer, but I don't want to spend time doing so if there's no way to undelete it. Apparently I'm completely unable to undelete the answer, and I'm also unable to contact the moderator to discuss the situation with them. I can't even add comments because "This question is protected to prevent "thanks!", "me too!", or spam answers by new users."  Is it normal that an answer is deleted, the author is unable to do anything about it at all?

When reviewing possibly low quality posts you sometimes see OK answers, except that they're wrong. From the review interface you can't downvote so you can only comment or edit, and editing isn't really an option when the intended answer is wrong.  Once you've commented or upped an existing comment, should we then click Looks Good because there's nothing wrong with the answer, except that it's wrong, or Not Sure so that the answer is reviewed again (and again)?

Today I've got 10 upvotes for an answer. Answer was a first answer in the question. I got an Nice Answer badge for this, but no Enlightened badge.  Shouldn't I get both?  is my answer :)
