On the small sites, if a small number (maybe even just 5) of dedicated users systematically go through and upvote worthwhile posts, then it'll raise the "bar" [a score of 0 or +1 among a bunch of +5s sends a louder message than a score of -1 among a bunch of 0s]. (It's something I did at Islam.SE and am currently doing at Chinese.SE. It just takes longer with the cap.) | |

If they aren't voting at all (or rarely), lifting the caps will not give them that extra push. Lifting the caps will only appreciate the current voters. | |

Stones | I note there is precedent for loosening the vote cap: Vote For This Question or The Kitten Gets It: The daily vote limit used to be 30 votes per day; we’ve increased that to a maximum of 40 votes per day — but only if you vote on a combination of answers and questions. | |
