I really enjoy this plugin - thank you to the developers who work on it, its a big boon to my Discourse community.
I’m curious about users gaining votes after using all their votes. I have increased the caps for user votes a few times because some of our most engaged community members vote on a lot of topics. I was wondering if votes could be re-generated for a given user over time up to a cap, or if there was another way to reward users with additional votes. It seems like the main mechanism for granting votes is a static number for an entire trust level, but I might be missing something.
If I’d have to hazard a guess, the reason you can limit votes is so that your members use them wisely and don’t vote for everything else it kind of devalues a vote.
At the moment one way users can get their vote back is by closing the topic. Let’s say you decided to implement a voted feature into a game for example, you can close the topic and this will refund users that vote if you will and they will be able to use it on another topic.
