To me being hidden from v/all is an irritation but not a dealbreaker. There are other ways to get info out. And Lord knows with some of the posts that are being upvoted and allowed to fester on the forum it may be a blessing not to have the wider world see the crap we have to wade through.
I don't think the code is buggy. It makes no sense to have a rule where no matter what limit you set for CCP the points do not increase when people upvote comments.
What I meant by buggy code is this: If we gain CPP from doing this then the code is buggy because we should not gain any CPP with the CPP setting at 100. We have both verified that it is at 100. So, since we are not supposed to gain points at CPP 100, if we do, then the code is buggy.
puttitiout did this change on purpose 6 months ago to stop "vote farming" which is a way to cheat and gain up votes for a user name.
And I agree about the visibility to v/all. Its nice to get the info out but some of the stuff that gets left to rot on the board for hours before it gets deleted doesn't need to be seen. Good stuff gets deleted quicker. Its a pattern.

So I should be flattered that I had a post deleted within 5 minutes today by MF. Lol.
