    (Dis)Agree option bug?

    Just to ask.

    Why does the Agree and disagree statistics reset upon editing the comment?

    Thank you and best regards, Creastery (Currently retired from WOT) TechAirlines

    To prevent manipulating. For example, imagine you are the owner of a malicious site. So you post a bad comment and wait until, say, 10 people have agreed. Then you edit your comment so it turns into a good one, and suddenly 10 people who think it's a bad site automatically agree with you! It doesn't even need to change the category - think of "Other", for example.

    Basically, it's that people who agreed with your old comment might not agree on your new one, you see.
