Oh yes. At some point your total available voats for the day equal your current CCP score divided by 2. It was never really explained at what point, but I presume the moment it exceeds 100. ;)

For example, I have a CCP score of 4992. So my total voats for any single day are 2496. Upvoats or downvoats, doesn't matter. At least once you reach 100 cumulative CCP. That's when downvoats are enabled.

It's almost like a video game.

That's actually really awesome. It prevents the angry troll sitting at home who makes an account just to downvote people. Great explanation.

Sorry to keep up with the questions, but is there a thread on Voat that explains things like this? I'm interested in if the votes are fuzzed like reddit, how they deal with spam, and basically what their rules are on just about everything. Reddit I know inside and out. Voat is a new frontier for me.

We are working on a sub, /v/voatusergroup - we are going to try and have it be a catch all one-stop place for vaoters to get information on how things work. It's still a WIP though. AFAIK there is no voat fuzzing at all. As for spam, there have been blocks on domains and throttles put on users' posting abilities that go too far into the negative on points. In fact, Voat itself is a work in progress. Remember, this is the Alpha version. Beta is coming soon though. We just got swamped with users before we ever expected it.

Fucking reddit ;)
