It is useful to have it there so we can gauge interest, but, yes, "vote" isn't the right word for us.

We did remove it once (Although accidently during a update, when it was removed from Bz core and became a default disabled extension) and people spent the next few days complaining about it, Even when the CC option was pointed out, as well as a several other options. That is why the Vote extension got re-enabled.

For me its simple: If voting is note used then it should be removed. If it stays it should be used. I too was confused that it is used as it is available. Mozilla says you shouldn't comment on bugs only to say "please fix it" - you should vote instead. In my work we keep truck of how many clients wants the bug to get fixed (you might say - vote for a bug). The more people vote for a bug the more severe the bug is then you might think at first. The more severe the bug is the more probable it is to be pushed into the next version. And priority is more or less - how fast this should be done when working on a new version (which is mostly a developer preference).

If you vote for a bug then you are automatically added to the CC list and you it's a nice way to keep track of the bugs you are interested in using 'My Votes'. However, at first when I saw the votes system, I too believed that more votes = more quickly done. As this is not the case, removing votes might be a good way forward.

As long as it's there, people will think that we do. This mass change should have been discussed somewhere first, but then i never understood why voting is bad. Mozilla haven't disabled it in their Bugzilla and Google use it in Google code (as stars), although i don't whether either of them actually prioritize bugs according to it. 2011/12/30 Chad : > Has anyone told him we don't use voting? > > -Chad > On Dec 30, 2011 11:04 AM, "John" wrote: > >> a user Jan Kucera (Kozuch) (with email of garba...@seznam.cz) has been >> mass >> changing the priority of bugs based on a very crude vote count. this is >> very disruptive and counter productive issue.
