There is no scarcity with upvotes. If I have an infinite amount of money to spend, I will spend it without prudence.

Cap the number of upvotes that a user gets each day and give explicit feedback on how many upvotes that they have left.

Perlmonks does this, and based on your total karma you are given a higher daily limit to spend. Works quite well.

I always think of the Perlmonk progression as a good idea. It will require a radical departure in use/interaction and might be seen as too controlled. PM had the advantage of doing this from the start (as far as I know) PM #244776

Perlmonks had that as part of the structure from the time I arrived there. Which was in the first few months.

It certainly works. I always go there ready to really think twice before I post & you learn. HN appears to be more OpEd a lot of the times.
