Delete reactions for edited posts. #10

Closed redrumrobot closed 8 years ago

redrumrobot commented 8 years ago

Similar to how votes are cleared if a poll changes, all reactions should be removed if the post being reacted to is edited (maybe excluding "wiki" posts).

To illustrate the need for this:

userAlice posts something nice.
userBob reacts with: :+1:
OP userAlice changes their post to the exact opposite of what userBob :+1:'ed
Now it looks like userBob is :+1:'ing something he disagrees with

Sorry, but I don't agree with this one.

a) Most edits (the vast majority) aren't intention-changing, and it's not something which I've ever heard being a problem in practice b) it's not the way other popular tools (facebook and slack come to mind) work c) I don't want to lose several people's reactions just because the OP decides to go back and add some exclamation points or fix a typo.

Thanks for the great feedback, though!
