hey @atko take a look at this. reddit may be banning users for "down voting too much"
see, it's a bad thing when you restrict voting on social networks, because voting on a social network can be considered protected speech here in the u.s.
don't restrict voting @atko and @puttitout
currently voat restricts voting in the following ways:
-you can only downvoat comments up to the amount you've upvoated comments
-in a 24 hour period, you can only voat 1/2 as much as you have ccp total
-you cannot downvoat anyone's comments nor posts that are older than 7 days.
