Now if you try to cast over a certain amount of up/downvotes a day, you will not be allowed to by the code.
The Piefed staff has said that the motivation is in keeping people from voting 'too much' - ie, that users who use Piefed 'too much' should use it 'less' in the interest of 'fairness' to other users.
Even if this is reversed, that attitude - not the first time the Piefed staff has expressed that thought, but the first time they've actually implemented something non-optional along those lines - suggests that issues like this will continue popping up, even if this voting limit ends up being removed by public outcry.
"When people tell you who they are, believe them the first time", and all that jazz.
