Hello! I use voting both as a way to say I like something, and as a way to track things. If I seach votedup:bluetibbit status:deleted I see a list of items that I've liked but have been deleted. Many of them were deleted for inferior version. I want to "transfer" my vote from the delete to the new, or just remove the deleted post's upvote altogether. I've noticed that the up/down vote option is missing on a post that is deleted. Is that intentional?

Thanks!

It's intentional and no, you cannot remove or change your votes on deleted posts - that's pretty pointless to begin with when you cannot even see the actual post.

You can use ischild:true delreason:inferior to check posts which have been deleted for being inferior if you want to "transfer" your vote.

Ah, I see.

Well, normally I do a search, I do something like votedup:bluetibbit zootopia to see posts I've liked in the past. Now they don't show up in my original search. I will need to search for all deleted posts I upvoted periodically, then upvote the superior versions. Thanks for the suggestions on delreason:inferior :) It would be nice to be able to cull the list by removing my upvote so when I periodically check, I don't have to recheck ones I've already checked... if that makes sense.

So I can't remove my vote up. I can't add them to a private set either. Nor does the blacklist work against them. I could create a set of ranged based queries, but meta-keywords don't union/intersect so that's n+1 queries which is excessive. eSix Extend's search refiner doesn't work with ids... hmm. I guess I'll write a tiny script that will remember what I've handled and remove those results from the query.
