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)

An increase was needed with all the new users coming in, but I'm kind of with you about 100 being a bit much. A low limit sounded like a good way to curtail those times when someone goes on a mass downvoting spree in discussion threads Hopefully a nice balance is found so that protection is still there while not hampering those who actually want to contribute to the community.

To me the post looks like he only changed the amount of upvoats you can give per 24 hours, nothing changed about the downvoats.

So you still need 100 CCP to downvoat.
