I suddenly ran out of votes when I was going down the vote for features list and voting for items I would like (something I think everyone should do every once in a while). How do I get more?

Hi @DaleKramer ! Valid question and also our PowerUser @BenLewis asked for that some time ago. That’s something that has to be “fixed” inside the forum settings - let me see what I can do about it! :+1: Thanks a lot for your feedback again! Jousef

Thanks, strange though, I did search for the answer before I asked the question and found no answer, I guess I my search skills need to be improved…

He did not ask in the forum so no worries Dale :wink:

[image] jousefm: That’s something that has to be “fixed” inside the forum settings - let me see what I can do about it! If you have options on the choice of number of votes allowed, is there any reason NOT simply to place a limit of voting only once per topic but you can vote on any topic?

Hi @DaleKramer , there might be multiple reasons why you would like to limit the number of votes per user: our development capacity is limited, so we have to focus on the most important features - a limited number of votes forces the users to also focus on their most important feature requests, th…

Hi Dale ( @DaleKramer ), you can “unvote” a topic to get your vote back, you are then free to use your vote on the feature that is of most value to you.

Hi Ben Un-voting does not relieve any of the burden on the member that I mention in my post (in fact it increases it). I strongly believe the burden is much too high with the current system. Whether you believe it is too much burden or not, is not my point. The fact that it is a burden and the f…

Valid arguments again Dale ( @DaleKramer )! As far as I know by now the number of votes is also limited by the user’s trust level - I will still see if that can be adapted in some specific setting but I could not find anything specific up until now. Keeping you up-to-date! Best, Jousef

That does not make the fact that having max number of votes limited, even based on trust level, is a bad system with respect to results validity and minimizing burden on member :upside_down_face:

Of course not and that’s why I am having a closer look at it Thanks for your feedback Dale!

P.S.: How many votes do you think are reasonable?

Cheers!
