Ask HN: What would make HN disable the vote-up button of a post/comment?
Is it a software bug or intentional spam prevention?

The parent post could have been made "dead". That will remove the ability to do votes, etc, even from your threads page.
You probably already voted.
What happened is that I voted up a new comment and its vote become 2. But after I refreshed the page, its vote went back to 1. I tries again and the vote was still 1 and the vote button was gone. So I cannot vote it any more.
I think you are right that the button disappears after I vote. But somehow the vote was not counted.

Sounds like somebody else downvoted it, too.
