Yeah, the documentation is starting to get a little dusty. Depending on
your configuration, users can vote to promote a bug from 'Unconfirmed'
to 'New' (those are the default labels). The PROMOTE_VOTES
configuration variable determines how many votes are required to promote
a bug. If this is set to zero, then bugs are automatically promoted
(that is, they begin life as New rather than Unconfirmed). A user may
have MAX_USER_VOTES active votes on bugs at any one time, and may remove
a vote from a bug from the user page. If a bug is promoted due to a
vote, and then the user removes the vote from the bug, the bug still
remains promoted.
If you would like to refer to this comment somewhere else in this project, copy and paste the following link:
does anyone know how the voting process works within phpBT? there is very little documentation on this.
