No information if post was already voted

[lukmarcus]

There should be an information if delegator has already voted for post from link. This could happen after url paste or after validate.

This should be listed as bug. With 2nd/3rd etc. vote you can change height of previous upvotes:

Voting AGAIN should be possible only with bigger vote power and still there should be information after validate like this post was already voted by voter X with Y% of delegate Z.

@lukmarcus Does re-vote consume voting power? I'm sure it cancels curation reward tho, so it's not good for delegator anyway.

I'm not sure if this is frontend issue at all, maybe this problem should be fixed in the core library?

On the other hand, the voter might want to downvote a post that has already been upvoted by a delegator, because he/she found the post a plagiarism or something.

I can work on this issue.

Does re-vote consume voting power?

Lower vote didn't consume power. I didn't check it for higher vote - but it looked like only percent difference was taken from account.

the voter might want to downvote a post

It's not as easy as it sounds because it works two ways - you can flag a vote or vote a flag. I forgot about that. So... Can voter change vote power? If yes, we must answer some questions:

1. Can voter change a vote/flag from delegator?
2. Can vote/flag be changed up, down or both?
3. Can vote be changed into flag and the other way?

Maybe there should be something like hierarchy of voters? So one voter can only change something from below and not above?

[jakipatryk]

I think a hierarchy of voters might be a bit too complicated at this point. IMO overwriting a vote should be disabled by default, but there should be a rule (or rules?) to let delegator enable it for certain voters, example rule could look like this:

{
    "rule": "overwrite_vote",
    "mode": "decrease_vote_weight", // or "increase_vote_weight", or "both", determines whether voter can increase a vote weight, decrease, or do both
    "when": "is_downvote" // or "is_upvote", or "is_any", determines when voter can overwrite a vote (when it's upvote, when it's downvote, or when it's either of them
    "times": "once" // or "twice", or "any", determines how many times a voter can overwrite a vote on one single post, I'm not sure if it's needed tho
}

What do you think? @lukmarcus

[lukmarcus]

It's a nice solution. I like it.

But still going back to first problem - there should be an information that post was already voted by delegator.
