Ask HN: Do you want an un-vote button?
- yzzxy 12y agoYes. It would be a good way to fix misclicks. However, I would recommend a quick time-delayed lockout similar to that present for comment editing (or is that lockout related to child comments? It's never been clear to me). That would reduce dog-piling effects and would keep votes permanent from a semantic perspective.
- tejasmanohar 12y agoMy thoughts exactly. It's not hard incorporate one, not sure why this doesn't exist yet.
- stephenr 12y agoBetter UI/UX around up/down voting would be a better solution
- tejasmanohar 12y agoDefinitely!
- stephenr 12y agoSeriously, someone down voted this?
- bbcbasic 12y agoIt was a mistake
- bobcoat 12y agoNo
- SamReidHughes 12y agoNo. Karma doesn't really matter, so it's not important if you misclick.
- ericfontaine 12y agoIf karma doesn't matter, then that is an argument for not having up votes for comments either.
- SamReidHughes 12y agoIt's not like there aren't other reasons.
- ericfontaine 12y agounvote would be nice due to misclicks, or fix misunderstandings when initially reading a comment (e.g. in cases delayed detection of sarcasm.)
