I'm facing an issue, quite often debated (like in Why are there voting limits? and like the 4 firs page I found about vote up limit) : I am feeling really restricted by vote up limit.
Please, read the below explanations before downvote (which would probably happen for some of you)
Background
There is a few days ago, I was still accepting that the limit was a real need ... there were some stupid users that wrote script for automatic voting, this is a great responsibility (thanks to Spiderman ;D), etc.
I quickly and easily earned Civic Duty badge (at least easily on SO ;)), and I found that the limit was reasonable.
But since the new reviewing functionality checks that you don't have reached the maximum upvotes (for first posts), I can't reward really good question and review posts at the same time. I read some fantastic answers about software versioning with Maven, that should be top rated for the rest or their electronics life ( ;) ) ... and I could not promote them !
I feel, now, I'm enough experienced on Stack Exchange to be respectful and "narrow", at least really more than I voted up for the first time :).
Proposal
So, I think now (due to reviewing module at least), vote up limit should be increased with different caps, like :
- +1 more vote by day, every 1k reputation limited to 5 or 10 times
- +2 more vote by day, (maybe +5) with civic duty badge
- +? more vote by day, (with every reviewer badge depending on its value (+1 for custodian + 2 for reviewer)
- +5 more vote by day, (maybe +10) with electorate badge
Those limits are obviously examples and should be reviewed too.
I hope you will help me to design reasonable rule.
