Ideation: Option to disable voting for Ideation Status

I agree with the need for this. If an Idea is a closed topic - i.e. not open to further comments - it’s weird that users can still vote on it.

Lots of votes on this one, it seems. We just closed an idea for the first time (still pretty new to the community thing) and were able to close it for comments but indeed surprised that you could still vote on it. Disabling this would be useful to increase clarity towards customers.

This has been in discovery for over a year. Is there any update on this thread you can provide? We are currently doing an audit of our Idea Exchange and trying to close these duplicate ideas from users voting and commenting on these duplicates. 

Thanks for your patience here, and to ​@KathrynMCarter for the nudge as this one has been sitting too long without an update.

We're actively looking to pull this into development. The ability to configure voting per ideation status so that closed, duplicate, or released ideas stop accumulating votes is a clear quality-of-life improvement for both community teams and members. We'll share a more concrete update here once we have one.

Disabling upvotes for an idea would be very helpful to our team. Ideally for us, we could disable upvotes at the idea level in the same way that we can “close topic for replies”.

This would help in two scenarios:

• Scenario 1- We’d like to close an idea and remove voting.
• Scenario 2- We’d like to merge a duplicate idea into a larger thread, and remove voting on the duplicate idea. (We find ourselves continuously merging duplicate ideas into a large main thread. This would reduce work for our team.)

Thank you for the update ​@Larry! Looking forward to this one!
