Strange category bug vote limits at bugs.kde.org

As far as I can tell, voting on bugs is a placebo for users, to make them feel like they have an effect on development prioritization, but this isn’t the case; nobody looks at votes them to prioritize work. For this reason, many Bugzilla products have disabled voting. The ones that haven’t probably didn’t realize they could. If there’s any change to be made here, it would be to globally disable voting, to avoid giving people the wrong impressions.

If they’re not used, certainly do disable them so that the users know this.

@Duha

Correct me if I’m wrong but I thought you have increased the importance of some bugs in the past? Was it not because of the voting but the amount reports? Or the amount of People subscribing to the bug?

but otherwise, I think that they’re a great asset.
