| Aug 11, 2016 at 14:40 | comment | added | Monica Cellio | It's relevant for things like scope and policy discussions. Something got discussed back in 2011 and, based on context then, people voted. Time passed, the site changed, people's opinions changed.. and anybody who revisits that discussion finds his vote locked in. Sometimes the right thing to do is to start a new meta discussion, but sometimes being able to reconsider a vote in light of experience would be useful. | |
| Aug 11, 2016 at 9:24 | comment | added | ꓢPArcheon | That said, I am also pretty worried this would end up like Rathony describes in his answer: less attention given to votes, lots of changes every day and a general noise. So, while this could be useful in some edge chases, it should also have some sort of limitation. Maybe some (small) rep cost? | |
| Aug 11, 2016 at 9:20 | comment | added | ꓢPArcheon | In a way this could make sense on meta. I can assume that changing you opinion on a post is something that can happen more easily here, where votes are meant to express agreement and not just "quality". Just imagine this scenario: you see a feature request that you initially deem unneeded, then some time later someone comes in and post an answer that makes you realize something you haven't considered before: at that time you may actually want to change your original vote on the proposal | |
| Aug 11, 2016 at 6:39 | comment | added | Shadow Wizard | FYI, the meta tag is for questions specific to this site only, MSE. Also, it's not about the upvotes and downvotes themselves, but rather the process of locking them, which prevent undoing them. | |

| Aug 11, 2016 at 6:16 | comment | added | PolyGeo | How many times are you wanting to change your your mind? Just the original and one reversal? | |

| Aug 11, 2016 at 1:55 | comment | added | Catija | @RobertLongson Presumably because you vote before you actually understand what's being requested in the feature and, through comments perhaps it's clarified and you change your mind... or maybe some time passes and you realize that the issue being discussed actually is an issue... there are tons of explanations... | |
| Aug 11, 2016 at 0:09 | comment | added | Robert Longson | Why would that happen? | |
| Aug 11, 2016 at 0:07 | comment | added | TwentyCharMax | @RobertLongson because if there's a specific feature that you think is bad, but then you think is good, you can change it. | |
| Aug 10, 2016 at 23:50 | comment | added | Robert Longson | Why have you changed your mind/vote if the post hasn't changed? | |
