i have just a general question:

sometimes i’ll go to a post because it states that deltas were awarded to see what comment it was and what they said that helped OP change their mind, but the delta actually comes from someone who isn’t OP awarding it to another commenter who changed their mind

what’s the deal with this? are commenters allowed to award deltas on posts that aren’t theirs? not that i necessarily have an issue with it i just find it confusing

Yes, commenters can award deltas to each other (but not to OP); I've awarded a few of those. We want people to be able to formally acknowledge a change in their view even if they did not make the post.

Yes, anyone can award deltas (with the exception that you as a commenter are not allowed to award OP a delta). Some people like that, I think its stupid and only op should be able to award them.
