Sugggest HN: Allow me to disable the downvote button from my profile page
I've read people saying that parent posters might have been accidentally downvoted. I propose the ability to disable the downvote button from the profile page with maybe an additional option to only disable it while on mobile.
- gus_massa 9y agoTry sending an email to the mods: hn@ycombinator.com (perhaps it's not easy to make this a switch for everyone, but they may disable downvoting for your account manually) As a workaround, after voting/downvoting a new link that says "unupvote"/"undownvote" appear for a few minutes next to the points, so you can use that info to confirm that you voted in the right way.
- krapp 9y agovoting is already reversible - you should see an "unvote" or "undown" link in the comment header after you vote.
