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)

Thanks a lot. What's the incentive behind limiting the number of daily upvoat? Is the rationale linked to spamming policies?

In the message that pops up when you hit your limit, it states that "this requirement was established as a measure to encourage new members to get involved and participate in discussions," because you are only limited until you receive 20 comment points!
