SoftwareSoftware updates: Improved/fixed content removal and ban notifications, no more upvoting your own posts, search by flair fix, other fixes

##Posters no longer upvote their own posts

Previously users automatically upvoted their own posts, but did not do the same to their comments, meaning that comments started with 0 points and posts started with 1 point. This was weird and inconsistent. Now all posts and comments start at 0 points and you cannot upvote yourself.

##Improved/fixed content removal and ban notifications

Previously, notifications about content removed by mods were sent to a user's notifications box, which meant that a lot of users didn't see these messages. Additionally, notifications weren't getting sent out about removed comments, just posts. This was not deliberate. This was all terrible since mods often send warnings with content removals, and users were not getting communications mods thought they were.

Now, when a user's content is removed by mods/admins or when the user is banned from a circle the user gets a message about it in their inbox. They can respond to the message to contact the mods through the modmail system.

##Search by flair now has working pagination

When browsing posts by flairs you can now see page two and beyond.

##Mods can send modmail messages to users from the report details page

New buttons on a report's "report details" page allow mods to convenient message users. A link to the report details page shows on the modmail message page.

##Odds and Ends

  • New confirmation box asks if you want to delete the comment reply you've started writing
  • Users won't get told the selected report reason for content violations is "too long"
  • Super high level users don't have broken levels on their user pages anymore. You'll have to get to level 1000 to do that again.
