I would assume you can only cast as many up votes as your karma value, too?
I’m not sure what the change accomplishes. Was there a thread on this I missed?
ETA: capping the up votes similarly will produce bad effects. :) But I’m still worried this tells legitimate lurkers “contribute written comments or we don’t want to know when you think a comment/post is poor!”
Up votes aren’t capped but your point about lurkers is interesting. The primary motivation for the change is to stop it being easy to just register an account then down vote everything you can find.
