I was reading some comments on "How To Raise A Dragon", and saw a good one that I thought was worth a merit, and when I looked at the place where the "Vote Up" button had always been previously, there was only a "Flag This" button, and I'm basically wondering if they combined the two into one button, or if there's an update about to register. Do I just hit the "Flag This" button?

Thanks, but Pazx answered my question in the Merit Recognition thread. They have removed the feature for users that aren't mods to vote up merit-worthy comments.

yea. umm not a glitch lol. glitches don't stick that long. AG would have fixed it. But yea hopefully it comes back. because I have written some really good comments on games.

Recently, I have too, and it's bound to take longer for mods to manually search through comments like they are now than just having a direct link to the comment, but I'm sure they had a good reason for removing it.

yea. maybe cause their in box got way to full and didn't have enough time to go through them all. so they decided lets have the mods check around AG for some good comments.

I don't understand what's wrong with up voting comments for ordinary users. Taking away the option to up-vote your own comment would be fine, but it's not like you award that merit when you click the up-vote button.

Me too, I don't know what happened to it in the optimization. But I think it should be back very soon


Not what Pazx said.

Also, why is the up-vote there in the REPLYS in the news comments? I don't get this. I don't even know what is wrong with it...


Forgot to remove it?...

I wish it would come back, but it's been removed. I think they were saying that if a comment is merit worthy it will stick out without being voted up.

It didn't really have a purpose.

Honestly, most game comments are so short that a comment even halfway worthy of a merit (in length), really does stick out from the spam.

And even while it was still there, I don't recall having merited a comment that had been voted up.

I'm gonna lock this, because there's not really more to it. I don't think it will come back, but if it will, it probably won't be for quite a while.
