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)

Most new users probably just haven't aquired the 20 points necessary to downvoat yet. Should start happening soon with the new daily voat limit increase allowing all the new users to upvoat each other past the limit.

Isn't it 100 points?

Oh is it? That's good, 20 would have been way too low. In fact, 100 may still be too low. Downvoats are a pretty powerfull way to censor/hide unpopular posts and having them readily available just encourages abuse.

I agree. Also, I have noticed that even though the voting limit was increased, I still have 10 upgoats per 24 hours. Does the same happen to you?

Yup. I try to upvoat something every now and then but I just keep getting the same "10 per 24 hours" message. The weird thing is, I've been on for 2 days but my total upvoat count is sitting at 22, not 20.

Hey, that's exactly the same as with me! I also for some reason have 22, even though I got to the limit only twice.
