  • I've purged the comments here to make room for further discussion. Be forewarned: I will delete without reply any comment that alleges the existence of a problem without a link to an instance of it. Have a nice day! Commented Jan 7, 2014 at 22:18

    Here is a case where a down-vote is locked in because the user corrected their mistake within the grace period. Their original code was wrong, they corrected it, but the down-voter didn't notice the correction until grace expired. (There were two other down-voters who did catch it within the grace period; I was one of them.) The answerer could make some other, superfluous edit now to resolve this, and then notify the down-voter that they can now change their vote, but if their original post was an official revision, they wouldn't have to do that.

  • Add a link to this report from your question, @Aaron. Since I've already answered that, I'm not going to address it here. Commented Jan 15, 2014 at 20:36

    Come on Shog, that feature request is nothing at all like mine. Could you enlighten me with the exact search term I should have used to go find that first, and why I should have even done so when the link I posted above - which is exactly the kind of thing I thought you were interested in knowing about, in the context of this feature request - happened to me first-hand?

  • Extremely weary of the OT comments; I'll drop into chat and you can get it out of your system there. Commented Jan 15, 2014 at 21:08
