| Apr 7, 2015 at 2:11 | comment | added | Jason C | I was going to post this same report. Some users have been using this in the current election. I totally don't fault them, but I think at minimum the score display (and unexpanded comment display selection) needs to be disabled, even if the score itself can't be easily disabled in the back-end. I really don't like the idea of being able to draw attention to specific comments in any of the election phases. | |
| Apr 6, 2015 at 21:09 | comment | added | Ilmari Karonen | Yeah, I see. @AnnaLear, looks like the back-end still accepts votes during the nomination phase, so the JS code I sent you is literally all that's needed to re-enable voting. | |
| Apr 6, 2015 at 21:06 | comment | added | Travis J | @IlmariKaronen - Was able to reproduce this in the SO moderation post (sorry). I believe that the entire post being locked in the previous situations is what led to a false belief (on my part as well) of this issue having been handled. Status-Repro in my opinion. | |
| Apr 6, 2015 at 20:04 | comment | added | Ilmari Karonen | @TravisJ: Looks like somebody managed to upvote this election comment on GD.SE less than a week ago, but I can't upvote it anymore, either. (The GD.SE election just switched from the primary to the final election phase.) The SO election just entered the nomination phase, so I guess we'll find out if any upvotes appear there. | |
| Apr 6, 2015 at 18:09 | comment | added | Travis J | Upon inspection, this appears to have been patched server side. The result of the action comes from an http response body and is clearly blocking the ability to upvote the comment. This could mean that it is no-repro. However, it is also possible that all voting was blocked when the election ended, and when a different election begins voting will be enabled and that will include comment voting as well. | |
| Apr 6, 2015 at 3:20 | comment | added | Adam Lear StaffMod | @IlmariKaronen Sounds good, thanks. Might be that I'm way out of the loop on the current state of things. Don't have the code in front of me, so who knows. :) | |
| Apr 5, 2015 at 22:50 | comment | added | Ilmari Karonen | @Anna: Well, back when I posted this question, restoring the buttons really was all that was needed. It looks like something has changed in the back-end over the last 4 months, though; I just rewrote the script I used, and I can still try to upvote election comments, but I'm now getting an error saying that "This comment is not eligible for voting or flagging." Oh well, I'll mail you a link to the script anyway. | |
| Apr 5, 2015 at 21:51 | comment | added | Adam Lear StaffMod | Nah, it's okay. Thanks. :) Restoring the physical buttons isn't a big problem. You know, as I think more about it... I think the voting/flagging logic has changed since the upvoting was taken out for election comments. In a good way - might be able to get upvotes going again. No promises, but I'll look. | |
| Apr 5, 2015 at 21:47 | comment | added | Ilmari Karonen | @Anna: Well, :(. Do you think it would help if I sent you a JS patch to restore the missing vote buttons? (I'd have to rewrite it, since I don't think I still have the code I wrote for the math.SE election, but it really wasn't very complicated.) | |
| Apr 5, 2015 at 21:40 | comment | added | Adam Lear StaffMod | Then again, disabling upvotes might also turn out to be hard. Depends on what assumptions we're making... We'll see. | |
| Apr 5, 2015 at 21:39 | comment | added | Adam Lear StaffMod | @IlmariKaronen Honestly... the immediate fix will likely be to disable the voting. I personally miss it, but making it work is apparently non-trivial. :/ | |
| Apr 5, 2015 at 21:34 | comment | added | Ilmari Karonen | @Anna: OK, but just to clarify, there are plans to restore the voting interface for election comments, right? Or did I read too much between the lines in your reply? | |
| Apr 5, 2015 at 21:32 | comment | added | Adam Lear StaffMod | @IlmariKaronen This needs to be fixed on our end. Providing upvotes via userscript is definitely a non-starter - confusing to everyone who doesn't know about it, if nothing else. | |
| Apr 5, 2015 at 21:27 | comment | added | Ilmari Karonen | @Anna: Did you ever get any feedback from the community team on this? | |

| Dec 14, 2014 at 18:28 | comment | added | Ilmari Karonen | @Anna: OK, I won't. :) But if you want my input, I really would like to see the ability to vote on election comments restored. I do feel that it helps to organize the commentary, and to reduce the temptation to post "me too" comments. | |
| Dec 14, 2014 at 16:56 | comment | added | Adam Lear StaffMod | Hrm. I'm gonna check with the community team to see what we want to do in the end. In the meantime, please don't add this to SOUP cause that'd just be majorly weird for the vast majority of users who, you know, don't run your extension. :) | |

| Dec 14, 2014 at 14:56 | comment | added | Ilmari Karonen | @ShadowWizard: You seem to be right about flagging: I can bring up the flagging dialog and submit it, but the flag gets rejected by the server. | |

| Dec 14, 2014 at 14:52 | comment | added | user642796 | At least we can all agree it was a comment worthy of being upvoted. | |
| Dec 14, 2014 at 14:51 | comment | added | Aditya Hase | Wow! I'm going to be popular! | |
| Dec 14, 2014 at 14:48 | comment | added | Shadow Wizard | But can you still flag? My guess is they removed the flag option both server side and client side, and didn't expect the client side would also bring upvoting down. | |
