I think there should be a limit per day, sometimes Lurpoa you have upvoted every single post in a topic which I think is a bit pointless!
Also it seems strange to upvote an OP which simply asks a question.

These forums are dominated by this clique who gang bash all who they disagree with, or who they perceive as a threat to their pet beliefs or pet topics or pet conventions (choose whatever pet you want to add here). They are like forever upvoting each others posts which is one of the ways that keeps them together. Which makes one wonder if there is any reason for the system in the first place.
I have not noticed a clique, and anyway if there is one and they want to upvote each other, why worry about it? The discussion is the point of the forums, not the number of votes.

The idea of a voting method on a forum is to enable people who just want to browse threads quickly to find the most important responses quickly. In that respect, it probably makes sense to upvote every post from (inter alia) Justin, Mike and Andy in every thread.
Very true, although I think that new members quickly come to understand that posts by these people and a couple of others are far more valuable than the contributions of the rest of us.
