A few issues in the latest forum update

@guigirl It's some kind of a lottery, but without prizes.

As you've already seen, there have been some changes to the upvoting limits. We have removed the limit for upvotes per day, so you can upvote the posts of different users as much as you want.
Also, we have increased the limit of upvotes per user per day from 6 to 10. We didnโt completely remove the limit for this setting as upvoting a single userโs posts could potentially be used to consciously inflate someone's reputation (not saying that participants in this topic are engaging in this activity as such).
Let's wait until the counters are reset for a new day, to see if there are any bugs in the system. -
It would be rather ironic if this dumb forum upgrade pushed a whole lot of disgruntled users over instead to Braveoperaedge simply to enjoy a better forum UX.

Or, counterfactual...
...it could merely allow the ongoing fostering of a pleasant village square communal interchange, just like before.I'm sorry Jane, but this new limit sucks.

Reputation regarding what? You are punishing the community involvement and participation this way, if you want to turn this place into a strict free Support & Bug Report Forum for the browser, then just write clearly about your new plans, like the folks in the Manjaro forum did, so that we can leave already. No hard feelings of course, it's your business.

@jane-n In fairness, I truly understand that a limit is set on downvotes (irrelevant here as they are disabled) because they could potentially harm users.
Regarding upvotes, once one reaches three reputation points that, as far as I remember, allow a user to post (almost) freely, I can't say I see the point. But in the end, it's up to CMs.@guigirl said in A few issues in the latest forum update:

Opera Forum uses NodeBB as well.

@jane-n freezing upvoters after 10th upvote while allowing notifications would be a better solution than current annoying behaviour (where user cant express the humanly feeling like gratitude of praise)

Exactly! For anyone unfamiliar, the MJ Forum debacle a few years ago really should be a salutary lesson of what NOT to do. A vibrant energetic warm community was destroyed, by an ill-conceived imposed intolerance from the owner. Hordes of once faithful MJ users left & never returned.
-
@jane-n Also, sometimes a user deserves more than one upvote for a particular post
-
Aha --
If there really were a dog, the logical & sensible thing this new work will accomplish is to eliminate forever the silly & vibe-quashing...
Sadly, given there is no dog...

Sorry, this topic has outlived its usefulness and attracting too many internet lowlifes.
@Hadden89 Yes you should report it
