Can you please reduce the amount of points you get for upvoting?

Upvote spammers get so much points not even by hard work

It’s just upvote spamming

In fact, I don’t really think you should get any points for upvoting

The upvote is there so you can show you liked the post, right?

Not so you can just click it so you get points.

It just seems like a bum-rush way to get higher up on the leaderboard.

We already have limits on the maximum number of upvotes you can give out per hour, but have reduced it further because of all the point inflation. Please only upvote content you really care about so it has real meaning to the user getting them. It also helps validate answers/comments that may have more value to a question.

We are also trying to reduce spam, even on posts that are trying to get the most answers or comments. Answers or comments that don't have enough value will be deleted.

thanks for the latter

the people tying to reach most answers are super annoying

Thanks for the former, too, because now at least this will deter people from upvote spamming.

Idk if I have bc like everything that I read that I think is good or of substance, I will up vote. Is that spamming?
by (1.18m points)
Well, @ThatoneEmmaKokfan, you’re a new user, so it doesn’t apply to you. (Either that or you’re not very active)

@ Elo you can check my stats. There's only about a difference of 100, which isn't that bad- very balanced, especially compared to other users.
by (1.18m points)
+1
Exactly 100. But at the same time, you’re very well-liked.

And also, I’ve upvote-spammed before, yet I’ve received twice as many upvotes as I gave out.
by (273k points)

Oh wow, perfectly 100!? That's crazy. 

It's also crazy how you spammed and still have a relatively balanced number T_T

by (1.18m points)
Yeah, probably because I have a lot of old posts and people just upvote that for no reason.

Maybe it’s also because people like my new posts, I’m not sure.

I have upvote spammed a lot, but I've tried to balance it with lots of high quality answers, and cool posts/ challenges for the community like let's try to get the most answers.

I feel like if you balance it with other cool stuff, you're okay... 

I also don't think you should take away points that have already been earned by people but I'm biased ofc

Also you spam answers on posts, which gives 40 points per answer soooo yeah tongue_smile

by (166k points)
Oh well I’m gonna stop spam answering

Not because it’s you, I just don’t wanna be a point bum rusher myself

Look gc, I agree. But like Nobi said, you spam all the time on gamekids post. And it’s even worse, as your trying to beat someone who spent tons of hard work on it by spamming

So like Nobi said PICK A LANE DUDE

Also, this is you:
GC: STOP SPAMMING UPVOTES IT'S ANNOYING >:[
And while I do agree with this, this is also you:
*Spams useless and unmeaningful answers just to try and beat someone who they know they are never going to beat and also the person who he's trying to beat is against people spamming his post just to get to his goal because he plays fair*

Pick a lane, dude. Either you're against spamming or you're not.

Yeah! This is exactly what I’m thinking
by (166k points)

I’m against spamming points, not answers.

With points, you’re beating a major achievement.

You’re beating hard work with what is supposed to be hard work.

Spam upvoting is not hard work.

With answers, you’re just beating a group of people who answered some random post.

You’re beating what can EITHER be considered hard work OR the result of years of existence.

Spam answering is a little annoying, I’ll admit, but it’s more justified than spam upvoting was, is, or ever will be.

There’s different types of spamming, just like there’s different types of political parties.

Answer spam is worse than upvote spam because you get 40 points per answer, not counting all the up votes your answers get

That's what I was saying, Pumpkin got his answers through actually meaningful answers and you, GC, are spamming random stuff.

I disagree bc sometimes the person upvoting is doing it bc another user asked.  

Let's say a new registered user joined and they wanted fast points and they had posted a lot if questions. I agreed to up vote all  their questions to help them get points bc it also benefits me as well.

 But, I think there should be a limit to the amount if questions we can up vote a day. Not answers bc dong that we actually have to do more work to up vote from a user page.

So.... Agree but disagree.
by (248k points)
I think they did that
by (273k points)

It's a heartless exchange of points. Just 'cause you're in agreement doesn't make it better, because it still affects other users shrug

Upvote spammers are very annoying.

I need everyone who does it to stop, because it is highly annoying and I don't appreciate it (unless you warn someone first, like when you say that you're going to upvote a person's every post).
by (273k points)
As much as I appreciate the points from that, it still is just as bad. All your going to get from that is a lot of "___, I'm upvoting your posts" and then nothing will change :/
by (615k points)
...

Well, you do get that person a lot of points, but I guess I shouldn't do that since I know firsthand that getting notifications only from upvotes are annoying x3

Yes please do because people get more credit for points they got in an unfair way
