Hi guys

We are experiencing the same issue.  
Moving the thread into a category that has voting disabled or closing the thread does not release votes.

Can somebody look into this soon?  
We have somewhere around 100 (and growing) out of a few thousand users that actively and regularly vote for topics and are complaining that they are all running out of votes.

Regards  
David
