bombfrog Posted July 19, 2019 Report Share Posted July 19, 2019 Sorry, boring thread but a good time to ask it after the festival hopefully. Obviously aimed at @eFestivals, is there a reason for the limit on daily upvotes? Maybe I've just got too used to being on Facebook all day and other sites which don't limit reactions, but when I see a clever or funny comment I really want to show it some love but with only about 3 a day I usually can't after lunch. Is there any way it could be raised, maybe a little benefit for gold subscribers? And yeah, I know, first world problems and everything, but if you don't ask you don't get. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Think Gold members already get an increased allowance over yer standard visitor? I quite like the limit tbh.

Crazyfool01 Posted July 19, 2019 Report Share Posted July 19, 2019 I agree with the limit, if they were able to be handed out willy nilly it would be like the russian rouble and worthless .. and akin to facebook where everything seems to be liked whatever it is Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oh I really don't care how many I get myself, it's just frustrating not being able to give them to others after lunch time It's also something which will only affect those that are on here all day becaue if you only log on once or twice a day the limit won't affect you. Like I said, no big deal, just a bit annoying, especially not knowing if you've got any left so getting the error at least once a day when you run out.

As I’ve said before I live for that sweet moment when you craft the perfect comment - witty, insightful, fiercely intelligent yet displaying an undercurrent of sensitivity - clicking “Submit Reply” and waiting for the upvotes to come rolling in... ...Then you don’t get any so go back to posting Simpsons memes.
