I like the permanence, because sometimes I upvote an insightful comment, then read an insightful reply and upvote it too. I think if votes were impermanent, I might be more tempted to null or downvote the original point if the second one is better - not because of evil, just because of the natural human desire to be very consistent. So I like the permanence thing...
...but I understand the misclicks. Maybe an "undo" button for a short time, like 10 seconds or until your next click that just nulls your vote?

- paulgb 16y agoAgreed. I upvote contradictory comments all the time. I don't see it as lacking consistency; I'm voting for quality and thought, not necessarily "right" opinions.

- TheSOB88 16y agoI almost wanted to upvote this, but I might have regretted it, so I didn't.
- Daniel_Newby 16y agoStack Overflow has an expiring undo and it seems to be a good compromise.
