Votes still get registered, even if they don't effect the current score of the item. So it is not quite the same, functionally, as taking away the buttons. Plus if I took buttons away, users would lose the visual indication of what they'd voted on.

Ok. But it feels inconsistent to see an integer vote count, that goes up when you vote, but after a page refresh those votes are all gone.

Maybe there is a way to at least show them to the user that voted ? That way that feeling would be gone.
