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)

I kind of like the low limit. It makes people more selective in upvoats.

I feel the same way. It made me realise I was habitually upvoating funny-but-useless comments far more often than informative posts. Now I'm more inclined to think before I vote, read more than just the top comments and save my votes for posts that really deserve it. While 10 voats per day may have been a bit low, I think the new limit is too high to inspire this more carefull voting mentality, so I hope it will be set lower again after the influx of new users has been taken care of.
