>"Dust votes, predominant among new accounts without much stake, are now considered the same as regular votes. What does this mean? Right now, if you were to delete a comment it would need to have no votes on it. Otherwise it won't be deletable, only editable. With this change, comments that have a dust vote (and are deletable now) will no longer be such. In short, all votes count."

Previously dust votes were not drawing on the rewards pool and were not credited to the accounts of the upvoted, nor, presumably, drawing down the HP of the voters.  You state they are treated like other votes now, and I wish to confirm dust votes now are treated like all other votes in the metrics I mention, not only regarding deletion of posts.

Thanks!
