I remembered someone said that every user has the limitation of voting to another user. Once he/she vote up/down the same user's post more than a certain limit, the excess votes will not bring any reputation to the user. The rule will prevent anyone gaming reputation system.
But I voted up 10 times to a user (Moderator) today, I noticed that his reputation increased by 50 points.
I am confused, how many votes can be given to a certain user in 1 day?
You can give all your votes to a single user in one day.
However, there's a good chance that this will be spotted by various automatic processes that are on the lookout for fraudulent voting patterns and the votes will be removed.
To give all your votes to a single user looks like you are a sockpuppet account created by that user to artificially boost their reputation.
Remember there is a maximum of 200 reputation points each user can gain per day (not involving points for accepted answers).
