evazion 9f313c94d1 comments: remove rule that you can't upvote your own comments.
Remove this rule for several reasons:

* A single upvote usually isn't enough to matter, especially with the
  new comment threshold.
* It felt weird that trying to vote on a comment could fail.
* Disabling the upvote button on your own comments feels weird.
* Most other sites allow you to upvote your own comments.
* You're allowed to upvote your own uploads, so it doesn't make sense
  that you can't upvote your own comments.

Unreleased

Changes

  • The next/previous post navbar is now available to logged out users. This is the navbar beneath posts that lets you move to the next or previous post in a tag search. Previously this was only available to logged-in users.

  • Removed the option to disable the next/previous post navbar.

  • Removed the option to disable keyboard shortcuts.

  • Removed the option to disable tag autocomplete.

  • You can now see the list of comments and forum posts you've reported to the moderators at https://danbooru.donmai.us/moderation_reports.

  • Comment scores are now visible and the vote buttons have been reworked.

  • You can now see when a post has deleted comments. Deleted comments are now replaced with the word [deleted], instead of being completely hidden.

  • The way downvoted comments work has changed. Instead of comments being completely hidden when they get downvoted, and having to click "Show X hidden comments" to see them, now they get collapsed and marked as [hidden], and you click the comment itself to unhide it.

  • The default comment threshold has been lowered to -8. This means that comments are now hidden at -8 and greyed out at -4. If your threshold was higher than this, it has been reset to -8. You can go to your settings to change this.

  • The maximum comment threshold is now 5 and the minumum threshold is now -100. You can't set your threshold any higher or lower than this.

  • Removed the rule that you can't upvote your own comments.

  • Changed the way [quote] tags look. Now quotes are Reddit-style instead of traditional forum style.

API Changes

  • Deleted comments now have some of their fields hidden in the API. The creator_id, updater_id, and body fields are hidden if you're not a moderator.

  • The POST /comment_votes and DELETE /comment_votes endpoints now return a comment vote instead of a comment.

  • The score param in the POST /comment_votes endpoint is now 1 or -1, not up or down.

Changes

  • Using the Enter key to submit an upload or save a tag edit will be removed in the future. Ctrl+Enter should be used instead (issue #4661).

  • Added a new Restricted user level. New users start out as Restricted if they signup from a proxy or are detected as a sockpuppet. Being restricted is like a soft ban: you can't upload, edit tags, create comments or forum posts, or otherwise make any changes to the site, but you can still keep favorites, saved searches, and other personal things. Restricted users must verify their email address to become unrestricted.

  • The Restricted system actually existed before, the only change is that now it's a public user level instead of a hidden flag on someone's account.

  • Your IP address, location, and browser version are now recorded when you login to your account. They're also recorded when you create an account, or do any sensitive account actions, such as changing your password or email address, requesting a password reset, or deleting your account. Failed login attempts to your account are also recorded. Mods will be able to view this information. This information is recorded for account security purposes and for site moderation purposes (detecting sockpuppet accounts and ban evasion).

Fixes

  • Fixed a bug with not being able to upload certain Hentai Foundry posts (issue #4657).
  • Fixed a bug with tag scripts sometimes adding the null tag (issue #4663).
  • Fixed various issues with wiki other names, artist other names, and saved search labels allowing invalid characters.
  • Fixed slow autocomplete when searching for Japanese or other non-English text.
