    Hi there! after two 5 votes in the C/C++ forum I got this message with the third one: You or someone at your IP address has been voting too often. Please wait a moment and try again. This makes it hard to appreciate good answers... /Moak

      Yeah, that's been my experience too. It should definitely be higher than this, specially for 5 votes. For 1 votes a max of two votes within a time makes sense, for 5 votes it should be raised to at least six.

            How about no limit for upvoting with 5? How bad can it be if you "like" a lot of posts... okay a limit for non-human voting can be imposed, but I guess you the hamsters handle that somewhere else already. :)

              That's still too low to clean up after trolls on the lounge.

                Upvoting sprees are just as bad as downvoting. We've had 'em both.

                  How about manually targeting the bad apples, not feasible (too much work)? Just a suggestion. Cheers, M

                    Make it based on user level? Bronze heavily restricted, while platinum (and gold?) have minimal or no constraints.

                    3x12=36 2x12=24 1x12=12 0x12=18

                      That's the plan (item #902). Original ref msg: http://www.codeproject.com/Messages/3429743/Voting-limit.aspx[^]
