Posts I've already reviewed show up in the review section again
I see the posts I review more than once

Today, while using the "Close Votes" task in the new review tasks on Stack Overflow, I was presented with a (book recommendation) question that I could not vote to close. It turns out, I had previously voted to close that question while browsing questions on the site (not from /review), and the close vote has since expired.

I believe this new close vote queue already avoids showing me questions where I have an active close vote; could the existence of expired close votes be added to that filter (since I still cannot really act on the post's need for closure anymore)?

I've marked this as a bug, rather than a feature request, since it seems like this is just an oversight.

  • How come the possible duplicate link got removed??

  • @ShaWizDowArd kiamlaluno realized his close vote was a mistake (because it's not a duplicate of that question), so he removed the auto-comment.

  • Hmm.. don't think this should be possible as the close vote is still there.

  • @ShaWizDowArd You can still see the close vote count, though. And you can navigate through the close vote menu to see what the target question was.

  • @razlebe That's about the old review system, and it's a different problem. That's seeing the same post in /review more than once, this is seeing a post in /review for the first time, but I can't act on it because I voted to close it in the past outside of /review. Make sense?

  • Also, that was marked as fixed in January, and Emmett just fixed this a few days ago o_O

  • @razlebe No worries. You're the third person to mistakenly vote-to-close this question, so I'm starting to think I was unclear somehow =)

This is fixed.

Now, if you have ever cast a close or delete vote, you shouldn't see that post in the close vote review queue.
