Increase number of votes possible

Hi guys!

How can the settings for maximum votes available per user adapted? Is there a dedicated option for this in the settings? Unfortunately I cannot find it - maybe I just overlooked it :slight_smile:

Thanks a ton for your help and enjoy your day!

Are you talking about a plugin or do you mean likes?

The plugin. Not the likes - guess they are not limited anyway.

You can’t per user, but per trust level.

Interesting @dax - thanks a lot! Is the number of votes then fixed per user on a given trust level or can the likes be adapted on a trust level basis?

Cheers and thanks a lot!

You can control how many votes to assign to each single trust level

What do folks think is a reasonable number of votes to allow per trust level? I see on meta we have changed TL0 from 2 to zero votes and TL4 from 10 to 8. I noticed that I am out of votes myself, even though I am admin here! :rofl:

I have always thought that the number is deliberately limited so that it works as a kind of ‘this is really important to me’ indicator. I can still like all requests and add my use case to feature requests even if I run out of votes. And I can still vote on these topics once another feature request I voted for is completed and the topic is closed.

@tobiaseigen, I wouldn’t limit them… I find myself never using votes because, to me, I either merely support or oppose something; trying to ascertain whether something is seriously important to me just isn’t a particularly pragmatic use of my time, when likes exist instead.

For comparison, on Bugzilla, although some instances limit votes, many don’t.
