Hi guys

I can confirm that the issue is not fixed that I also originally reported here:

> 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

We tested this on a test instance with discourse v.2.1.0-dirty with the latest version of the voting plugin including the fix by OsamaSayegh.

Neither moving the topic to category with voting disabled nor closing the post will release the votes.
