Guild Wars 2

The forum upvote feature is a nice way to quickly acknowledge that you like what someone posted without necessarily adding more forum clutter by just posting a Plus One at them.

The thing is that it greys out when you click it, which is a good way to indicate you already voted. However, I’ve found a number of posts with it greyed out that I did not want upvoted, so I clicked them back to bright red.

Ooops.

I just very belatedly checked my profile to see … and all those that I toggled to bright red? They’re showing as upvoted by me and some of them I absolutely do not agree with, which is why I went to the effort of ungreying them in the first place. Anyone who bothers to see what posts I vote for is going to get a nasty picture of me ><

I know there aren’t too many fixes that can be done to the forums thanks to the contractor situation, so this is more of a PSA to help others avoid looking like jerks due to their “agreeing” with jerk posts.

This is a ‘bug’ that has been around for ages. There is a Dev response about it somewhere. Probably in the old Forum and Website Bugs sub-forum.

If you ‘upvote’ those posts again, it will remove your ‘upvote’.

Good luck.
