I apologize if this has recently been asked, but searching this forum and the greater ProZ site didn't answer the question for me.

When I visit KudoZ questions in my language pair, I don't see the voting button, though if others have voted for reclassification, I do see "N people have voted" information at the bottom of the page.

Where should I see the voting button, and why don't I see it?

Status? Oct 5, 2012

I've a feeling this may have to do with how many KudoZ points you've accumulated - I'm pretty sure this was the case with the ability to Edit questions (with regard to language pairs), because I remember not being able to, and then the situation changing.

But let's see if a moderator can clarify for us.

Best wishes

it's parallel with the "Answer" button, alongside other functions like "Post reference". As Noni says, I think it has something to do with "status" too.

"If you have fewer than twenty (20) KudoZ PRO points, you will not see this option."

Thanks Noni, Rachel, and Russell! Oct 5, 2012

And thanks, Russell, for the link. I somehow missed that bit of information when I read that exact entry (1.16) in the FAQ. (Perhaps more coffee is in order...)

Handle with care Oct 5, 2012

I think it's best to leave out using the non-pro button unless the query is absolutely 100% basic. I got quite annoyed the other day when one of my own, which was really a brainstorming request, was voted non-pro. The meaning of the term was obvious, but I was looking for suggestion to make it flow better in English.
The non-pro votes in this case made me feel like resentful, as I perceived them as insinuating I might be some sort of halfwit simply for wanting to compare opinions with othe... See more

PS: I frequently see (saw one yesterday, in fact) what would look like very simple queries were they to come from a native speaker, but which could easily stump non-natives biting off more than they can chew. I think in these cases, what we need is a "Stick to the day job" button....
