    well should they?

    Edit: I mean the amount of times you can thumb down or up different people as I can only seem to do it about four or five times before it says that I have reached the maximum number of posts that I can thumb up or down for the day.

    No. What benefit would that pose?

    Do you mean the same person? Because it already does that, you have to spread rep around.

    They do (I think?)

    Anyway, do you mean limit the amount of times you thumb up/down the same post or the amount of times you thumb up/down different posts? If it's the same post, I don't see why you would need to do it several times, but I do think we should be able to thumb up/down as many different posts as we like.

    'Thumb people up or down?'

    Otherwise known as positive or negative reputation...
    I think it is ok the way it is.

    Yes. People will start to randomly thumb people up and down when they are bored and valuable comments will go unheard.

    I'm surprised anyone really cares tbh.

    Annoying when I like a specific username's post and later on I like another one of their posts a few threads later and I can't rate them.

    Guess it stops rep whoring but meh.

    No.

    Some people make such excellent posts that they deserve infinite pos rep :sexface:

    And some (SummerSofas, Otkem etc) deserve infinite neg rep :mad:

    One of your poll answers is incorrect. It should be "you are a douchebag".

    One of the benefits of a set limit is that it there is more value to the rep that you do choose to distribute.
