Daily voting limit has been increased (announcements)

submitted ago by Atko

In line with our userbase growth (I think we flew over 100.000 accounts), we need to scale up various quotas we had in place. Up until today, users were limited to 10 upvoats per 24 hours if their CCP was lower than X. I just bumped this limit to 100 upvoats per day. Let's see how it goes.

Also, we are working hard on optimizing our existing code before throwing your donation money at more servers. And yes, my vacation is no longer a vacation even though I am still away from home, we're way past that point now. I am putting all my time on handling this influx and I want you guys to know that I won't be able to relax until voat load time goes down to under 1.5 seconds.

Edit: you can try upvoating this announcement post to test if the limit increase works (hehe)

Thank you! You're awesome and I'm extremely thankful!

So were your voting limits actually increased? Mine's still at 10, and a lot of other people in the comments are saying the same thing. At first I thought it was just because I had already hit the limit and it'd be fixed after the next reset, but now it's a couple days later and I'm still stuck at 10 upvoats a day.

Upvoats 4 lyfe.

greiton ago

I am now calling them upgoats.

syngar_exovel ago

I'm upgoating all uses of the word 'upgoat' in an attempt to outweigh 'upvoat'ers! Take my upgoat!

I see no reason to use "upgoat". Why is "goat" relevant, and where did its use here originate?

"Upvoat" seems more appropriate and obvious.

Deadhand ago

OMG UPGOATS. I'm so fracking down with ”upgoats". Upgoats for all!!!

dis_is_my_account ago

Lol I remember a while ago some people didn't like upgoat over upvoat because they thought it was childish. They're going to be pissed.

syngar_exovel ago

Would you say it was associated with... kids?

you just convinced me to switch to upgoat. Are we goaters now too?

Fools_gambit ago

We're getting Goatsie in here!

JustAnotherGoat ago

Did someone say Goats?

DreamsAndSchemes ago

This needs an upgoat arrow on the tongue.

syngar_exovel ago

I like this. Another!

Admiral_Mason ago

Hopefully there is a poll between upvoat and upgoat.... we know who should win :D

buedi ago

There is now :-)

I'm using the Boat app to browse voat and give out upgoats. Would I do it in a house with a mouse? Yes, yes I would.

Stoic ago

Am I the only one who likes both upvoats and upgoats?

cube_is_life ago

But it's not an idea. It's a real thing.

I feel I am being goatsmilked here

So I'm guessing this Atko guy is the fella that runs the place?

rikkian ago

Until a few days ago he was the sole guy running the joint. Since the reddit exodus however he said:

@puttitout helped me get through this unplanned migration and I'm happy to say that he's now officially a part of voat.

Yep, he's the new head honcho. Better than Ellen, that's for damn sure.

Admiral_Mason ago

What proof do we have that Atko isn't Ellen Pao? tinfoil hat

Natdawg567 ago

Well I haven't seen the two in the same place at the same time... so it's still possible.

TheRedditExodus ago

I know I'm safe as I have an Ellen Pao repelling rock. I might ship it to voats servers to keep them safe.

b0ard2death ago

Good point...but fatpeoplehate isn't banned here, so I have faith. You can remove your hat...for now

I'd upvoat you, but I'm too new still.

TheBlueGhost ago

Yes.
