@markvanlan what do you think about the idea of making those settings per-category?

I have in mind that folks might want to configure them in different ways for different use cases (e.g. max: 1, cap: true for more of a “post voting” use case, or max: 10, cap: false for more of a free form high traffic commenting use case)

Is that something you foresee needing as well? Or are you more skeptical we need anything more than site settings here?
