TheDivineFool Posted March 31, 2015 Posted March 31, 2015 (edited) This really pisses me off. I can't even say thank you. Why is there a limit to "positive votes"? I'd like to know. Why don't you include "negative votes" and do away with the limit? Edited March 31, 2015 by TheDivineFool
Acme Posted March 31, 2015 Posted March 31, 2015 There is a limit of 3 negative votes per day. IIRC the positive vote limit is around 10 times that. You're welcome.
StringJunky Posted March 31, 2015 Posted March 31, 2015 It helps to curtail abuse. I don't think Ive issued more than 2 red ones in a day.

StringJunky Posted March 31, 2015 Posted March 31, 2015 How about a rule that says you're not allowed to moan about SFN, or the system, until you've been a member one year? I think people are far too quick to judge..
TheDivineFool Posted March 31, 2015 Author Posted March 31, 2015 Since I can't vote up, I have to say thank you to all in this post. I see that the votes affect the rep of a member. Does the rep of a member give him/her some perks on the forum? I vote up for a lot of reasons; from knowledge to penmanship. That's why I think I exhausted my quota for the day. It sucks to learn something and not be able to say thank you. I do discern a logic in the vote limit though. It makes you have to choose the best from the best.
John Cuthber Posted March 31, 2015 Posted March 31, 2015 You seem to have solved your own problem: "Since I can't vote up, I have to say thank you to all in this post." You can even add a qualifier to say why you liked it; penmanship, knowledge, whatever..
Bignose Posted March 31, 2015 Posted March 31, 2015 it prevents people from making sockpuppets and going to town upvoting all of their own posts. People have tried this before. Fake internet points with no value are very important to some people...
Phi for All Posted March 31, 2015 Posted March 31, 2015 How about a rule that says you're not allowed to moan about SFN, or the system, until you've been a member one year? I think people are far too quick to judge.. It's not a perfect system, but it's the best we've had in the last ten years, imo. We've tweaked it to suit the majority of situations and members, but we're obviously not going to please everyone. It seems to be part of intelligent human nature to walk into a situation and immediately want to change it to suit ourselves. But it's even more intelligent to wait, imo, give it time so you can see the dynamics of the system at work before you start changing any part of it. Without that knowledge, how would you know if your changes are really beneficial?

A chap once said to me: If you want to change a system be the system, and this requires understanding it first. Edited March 31, 2015 by StringJunky
dimreepr Posted March 31, 2015 Posted March 31, 2015 (edited) Post with humility not hostility, post with a smile not a frown, accept that you may be wrong and most importantly learn when you’re shown to be wrong. Edit/ sorry wrong thread... Edited March 31, 2015 by dimreepr

You're probably one of those raging, pedantic intellectuals who insist I learn what's inside the box before trying to think outside it.
Spyman Posted April 1, 2015 Posted April 1, 2015 This really pisses me off. I can't even say thank you.You have only made 18 posts so far but when you have made 12 more you can give 25 upvotes and 3 downvotes every 24 hours. Senior members (those with 30 posts or more) can give 25 upvotes and 3 downvotes in 24 hours. All others can give up to 10 upvotes and no downvotes in 24 hours.From this thread: Is there a limit to reputation points?
