When it happens to me it is because I have replied to that comment. I assume that it is because if you replied to a comment you DO think it is worth reading it, and it surely contributed to the discussion, therefore no sense in downmodding it
- dasil003 18y agoYou can't downmod a response to your own comment. That's the only anomaly I've seen.
- jwilliams 18y agoThere is also some sock-puppet detection as well - this is to prevent you creating accounts and upvoting yourself. Presume it also prevents you downmodding every comment by someone you don't like too... I've seen it occasionally go awry - you'll upvote and the vote just disappears.
- ErrantX 18y agoAs Dasil says you cant down mod replies to your comments (for obvious reasons :D). I find I can vote on comments I reply to... (it doesnt, to me, appear to be logical that if your replying you agree with the post).
- markup 18y agoWell I cannot downmod comments I have already replied to. Up/downmodding does NOT mean you agree or disagree with that comment, it means you find it useful/interesting or that it has added something/contributed to the discussion
- ErrantX 18y agohow do you mean by already ? I can still down mod the comments in this thread that I have replied to. EDIT: wait NOW I see :) I cant down the above comment. Ignore me :)
- diN0bot 18y agoif you down mod and then reply does the karma get removed?
- ErrantX 18y agogood question. I volunteer to be downmodded and replied too :)
- jonursenbach 18y agodownmodded and here's your reply.
- joshuarr 18y agoI can't down mod ANY comments. I don't mind, really. I'm a pretty positive guy.
- markup 18y agoWell, it looks like I was looking at comments older than 24hrs (can downmod comments I have replied to, in the last few minutes): so I am wrong on this :-)
