MistbornAlpaca Posted January 9, 2018 Report Share Posted January 9, 2018 (edited) So I've maxed out my upvotes a few times, and I'm wondering if anyone else does this? I can give 20 upvotes a day (not sure if it increases with reputation). I've only maxed out a few times, and so I started this poll to see how many upvotes everyone gives on an average day.

Podman Posted January 9, 2018 Report Share Posted January 9, 2018 Two things- 1) I think the upvote limit was recently upped to 20 a day, and 2) I usually find myself with far more upvotes than I need. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MistbornAlpaca Posted January 9, 2018 Author Report Share Posted January 9, 2018 Speaking of which, I just maxed out Yes @podman36, I just figured out it was upped. Apparently, I should scale back my upvote usage 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mestiv Posted January 10, 2018 Report Share Posted January 10, 2018 The upvote limit was raised because of the OB release and general rise in forum activity. More posts on the forum daily → more upvotes to give. Your own reputation doesn't affect the number of upvotes you can give. I personally give 1-5 upvotes a day, even though I could give 100, as staff members aren't limited in upvotes IIRC 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Leyrann Posted January 10, 2018 Report Share Posted January 10, 2018 I typically give 1-5, but OB's release week coinceded with a few days where I had nothing to do and therefore spent basically the whole day on the forum and those days I easily capped out. Also, meme threads are upvote black holes. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kered Posted January 15, 2018 Report Share Posted January 15, 2018 I usually go 6-10. I usually upvote for one of three things. Humor, interesting, or learning some piece of information I didn't know before. As I was re-reading the OP, I realized for the first time the significance behind the upvote limit. Coincidence or on purpose, touche Admins, touche. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nohadon Posted March 3, 2018 Report Share Posted March 3, 2018 I am very stingy when it comes to upvotes, and alot of the time I just forget they exist! so I rarely give more than 3 upvotes per session while on the forums, i need to start doing it more. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Archer Posted March 10, 2018 Report Share Posted March 10, 2018 Does anyone know when the upvote count resets? I don't think I've ever used them all up in one day, but if I did it would be good to know. I'm guessing it's midnight. But is it midnight in my timezone? in Greenwich? or Brandon's timezome? And if it is, is it based on my internet wifi-thing (whatever the lingo is) and where the website thinks I am? Which raises the question, if I travel to another timezone, do my upvotes reset early? COULD I GET UNLIMITED UPVOTES BY CONSTANTLY FLYING AROUND THE WORLD BACKWARDS?!? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Calderis Posted March 11, 2018 Report Share Posted March 11, 2018 @Archer I've only ever used all of my upvotes like... Twice, but I do remember being annoyed when it happened because the reset time was weird. I'm in PST and the rep system resets right at midnight here, but the upvote reset was somewhere around 3pm. So yeah, I don't know if that's based on when you used your upvotes and arbitrary timezone, or what. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How many posts it would take would vary depending on whether or not the moderators got this lack of rep restriction outside of their respective sub-forum. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Arash.F Posted March 14, 2018 Report Share Posted March 14, 2018 (edited) Actually it depends on the topics. But I give an average of 1 or 2 reps, since unfortunately I don't have time to read the forum as much as I like. The other question you could ask is what kinda posts do you give upvotes? I give upvotes for thoughtful and amazing posts, as well as really funny ones! Are there rules for giving upvotes and stuff, or it's totally up to you?

I can give 16 upvotes a day (not sure if it increases with reputation). @MasterJack @Mestiv Surely you are generous up-voting guys. Can we become friends? I could use some more upvotes, considering I'm still a bridgeman Edited March 14, 2018 by Arash.F 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Feel free to give as many as you like to whoever you like. There is only one rule: you can't abuse the system. So you can't make a new account to upvote yourself. You also can't make a deal with someone else to trade upvotes. Just be an active member and soon you'll be a Mistborn or something like that 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CrazyRioter Posted March 14, 2018 Report Share Posted March 14, 2018 I think Wayne is probably funny enough to gather upvotes without breaking the rules. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Unlicensed Hemalurgist Posted March 15, 2018 Report Share Posted March 15, 2018 I rarely upvote. As far as I'm concerned, having only 16 upvotes to give out per day makes each one rather special. I usually wait for a really good topic. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Elenion Posted March 15, 2018 Report Share Posted March 15, 2018 I'm generally stingy with my upvotes. If you make me laugh, I'll give you an upvote. If you write an RP that makes me emotionally connect with the story or characters, I'll give you an upvote. Other than that, I don't give out many. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

King Cole Posted March 19, 2018 Report Share Posted March 19, 2018 (edited) I upvote usually long thought out theories, or anything that makes me laugh. Also whenever I see someone new I usually give them an upvote to start them off. Edit: YES, FINALLY A FERRING.
