Daily rate limit on number of likes
-
I've just ran into this when clicking like on a post
We have a daily limit on how many times that action can be taken. Please wait 17 hours before trying again.
I've not clicked like that many times. Some people like Morbs have made more posts during this little beta than the number of likes that I've submitted. Why is there such a low rate limit on likes, and clearly no equivalent on posts? That gives the impression that likes are more likely to be spam abused than posts, when the opposite would be much more of a nuisance.
I was not expecting to run into any rate limiting, especially something that makes me wait until tomorrow to like something, I'll have forgotten to do it by then.
Is this a user configurable value? Could we increase it please?
-
max_likes_per_day is currently set to the default of 50...
-
As of right now I've liked 125 posts, compare this to Morbs who has made 279 posts and bstorer who has made 171 posts. It doesn't make sense to me for the like limit to be lower than the post limit.
I'm not saying that this is wrong, it just strikes me as surprising. I'll accept it if someone says that it isn't going to change.
My general usage tends to be to like more things than I'd actually post.
-
.. just increased it to 500.

Thank you

Some people just have a lot of love in them, you know?
-
I would seriously not have guessed that this would become a problem for someone.
Then again, there is absolutely no harm in them so what...
-
That's why it surprised me, there's no harm in them so why rate limit them? I suppose if they were unlimited someone could go around liking absolutely everything, but if they're sad enough to do that, well meh!
Typically, someone on this forum will take that as a challenge now.
I think it's much more likely that someone would spew loads of spammy posts, which don't seem to have such aggressive default limits as likes.

Maybe, but things such as likes go into the formula for the summarize stuff, and I could totally see people attacking things like that. Especially around here, though it wouldn't really be frowned upon like it would at some places.

Well, we've been posting for several days now. And I thought the limits only applied to new users, and the more you posted and went up in Trust Level, the more you can do.

I wasn't criticising how active you are Morbs, you're one of the primary sources of entertainment around here, so I'm glad you're so active. I was just surprised that you can post so much but I can't like as many posts as I wasn't to.
-
I'm pretty sure that the number of posts you are allowed to do in your first day was upped very shortly after things were opened up (due to people having hit the default cap), but that you were the first to point out the cap on liking posts so it wasn't increased from the default until recently.

That you might not have enough likes to like each and every one of my posts is the most critical bug in Discourse to date.

I like your avatar, DoctorJones. Also, you should post more.

They should be transferable and awarded to users based on a proof-of-work distributed system.
-
I should be able to sell like-offsets to other people who produce too much likes.
-
All user actions are rate limited, for the reasons here

I tried to like every post in a thread on
try.discourse.org
(the 1000 posts one) and I actually got b& for it after about 600-700 (at 50 likes/day).Fun fact.
Proof of work - that 600 is all me.
The actual liking was done on try2.discourse.org, because that's the source for the backup they were restoring from daily. I think the setup's changed since then.

Also, it might matter more if number-of-received-likes ever become a criteria for ranking users...

Badges!
A couple of us did discuss whether we should enable the badges on here.
Or wait until we've exhausted all other possibilities, then enable them...
-
I think I used to hate badges, but I've come around, given potential for creative strange badges.
-
Badges can work quite well in a community especially if the people making the badges have an ounce of creativity. This forum has surprisingly much creativity, therefore badges would be awesome here.

I still want the badges to be things I can dress my avatar with. Because that would be simultaneously be a mark of awesome bragging rights and an opportunity for being even more silly.
We could have a “Russian General” badge for getting lots of other badges. And maybe “North Korean General” for getting lots of badges with flaming.
