| Sep 5, 2009 at 13:08 | comment | added | Jeff Atwood | earn 3,000 rep, edit the question, then change your vote. | |
| Sep 2, 2009 at 13:42 | comment | added | nagul | @random - Because some answers have good and bad parts, and I've changed my mind about the good outweighing the bad. The answer that prompted it is here: superuser.com/questions/31171/…. I left a comment explaining my opinion on the good and bad parts of the answer, but I'd like to neutralize my upvote too. Claiming that there's never a need to do this, and locking a vote is a feature, is disingenous. | |
| Aug 31, 2009 at 16:56 | comment | added | random | If the vote you cast is good, or bad, let it stand. If they change their post and it's no longer the same, then you should be allowed to recind your initial vote. Why do you change your mind after casting a vote though? | |

| Aug 31, 2009 at 16:30 | comment | added | nagul | @random - What are you on about? I'm not talking of vote resetting due to edits. I'm asking why you think a vote cast has to be set in stone, since you are clearly okay with questions and answers being edited/changed if they can be improved. If you say this is the only way to combat people using votes to game the system, I'll accept that. But saying that people should know their mind when they cast their vote and never change it later - that's utter rubbish. Why should they have to? Is it the entropy increase that bothers you? | |

| Aug 31, 2009 at 10:56 | comment | added | random | Same stance, less potions. Still in favour of the edit of an answer/question resetting the vote cast window since it could be a vote/game changer. Not a fan of pushing in up or downvotes because of momentum, and try to suss out the validity of an answer before voting. There's only 30 a day to point with. | |
| Aug 31, 2009 at 10:48 | comment | added | nagul | So your answer is, get it right the first time or forget it? Was that your reaction before this change was implemented, or you've now decided on this attitude to justify the change? Why not turn of editing capabilities and other retrospective changes too while you're at it? | |
