Voting for bugs does two things, and I don't think Dmitry wants to do the first:<br>
<br>
1. It confirms that a bug does exists and possibly on multiple platforms.<br>
2. It advises developers that more than one system/configuration is affected by a bug.<br>
<br>
I agree that adding thousands of votes to a long standing bug is 'noise'. Given that we have a limited resource of developers, having users verify bugs and to vote for them to give an idea of how severe a bug is might be helpful.<br>
<br>
Just my .02 USD here.<br></blockquote><div>I think that voting for bugs is a great feature, otherwise there would have been many annoying comments like: it happens to me too and what info you can get out of it?<br><br>Voting helps setting priorities for bugs without nonsense comments.<br>
