I just hit my voting limit right now, and I don't see why there even is a voting limit. You can only vote once on a project, and unvote if you have the extension. I can't vote awesome programs that deserve to be noticed, because I already voted on other awesome programs. I'd like if KA would remove this restrain, as it doesn't help the Community.
Thanks, Lemon Games
Hi Lemon Games,
Thanks for sharing this feedback with us!
The reason we have the voting limit is to prevent users from using lots of accounts and/or the API to vote up many programs at once. This has caused some pretty big disruptions in our community in the past, and we've found that adding a per-account vote limit is the most effective way to prevent this sort of situation from happening.
The current limit is 10 votes per hour, which means that you can vote up a project every 6 minutes. If a lot of users think this is too low, I'd be happy to suggest a higher limit to the team, but I think this rate seems fairly reasonable for the average user and has worked well in the past.
Another thing I would like to point out: If you do run out of votes, you can still leave positive comments in the Tips & Thanks section! For most users, a kind and thoughtful message is much more valuable and encouraging than an upvote!
Thanks again for taking the time to share this feedback! Please let me know if there's anything else I can do for you!
Why couldn't Khan Academy have software to accurately spot bots and disable them? To make it error-safe, Khan Academy could send an email to the owner of the account, and if they respond within say, 48 hours, their account is not disabled. If they don't respond, their account is disabled and they need to verify they aren't a bot before they can access stuff on Khan Academy. Also, I'm talking about disabling accounts, not deleting them. This is to make sure that if a human slept in for 48 hours and 1 second, and missed to confirm their account was indeed, not a bot, all their hard work on Khan Academy is not lost. In order to make it so that bots don't exist, users could be randomly tested every month whether they are a bot or not.
BenjaminH K.A. computer programming was much more popular back in the olden days. It's not a bot problem.
ok, so me 7 months ago was dumb. The ACTUAL reason they got there was because the programs at the top had much less votes. In 2015, doodle jump had only 5000 votes compared to the 16000 it has now. It was much easier. Once the programs had reached the top, it created a feedback loop where they would keep getting upvotes from people who clicked the "votes" button and didn't scroll down very far
