For additional clarity, here are answers to common inquiries we get!

**1\. Will there be a separate vote limit for upvotes and downvotes?**

No, both votes are counted as one. The number of votes includes both upvotes and downvotes.

**2\. When does a user's time period start?**

The time period starts for that user the moment a user votes on the first post after the Admin/members enable this option.

**3\. As an admin/member, can I reset the time period?**

Yes, only if you disable and enable this feature again.

**4\. What is the maximum limit for votes I can set as an admin/member?**

There isn't a maximum limit for the number of votes.

**5\. How will my customer know how many votes are left?**

Once he/she records a vote (upvote/downvote) there will be a pop showing the total amount of votes left compared to the global vote limit.

**6\. What happens if a customer exhausts the board vote limit before the global vote limit?**

In such a scenario, your customer will not be able to vote on that specific board where the vote limit has been exhausted. He/she will be able to vote on all other boards.

**7\. What happens if a customer exhausts the global vote limit before the board vote limit?**

In such a scenario, the customer's board vote limit will be exhausted too. The customer would have to wait for the next time period set to begin and start voting again.

**8\. As an admin/member can I change the vote limit once the user has already started voting?**

Yes, as an admin/member, you can alter the number of votes, both global and board-specific limit anytime. The limit will be considered a rolling limit and it gets adjusted based on the number of votes left and the number of votes already recorded.

**9\. What happens when a user revokes an added vote?**

If the added vote (upvote/downvote) is reverted the total vote consumed limit reduces.

Say a board's vote limit is 10 and the global vote limit is 15, and the user has used 5 votes (4 upvotes and 1 downvote) on that specific board. The board limit will now be 5 and the global vote limit will be 10.

If he/she reverts the downvote the board limit becomes 6 and the global limit becomes 11.

**10\. Does the max vote limit apply to the Admins/Team members of the Organization?**

No, it does not apply to the Admins/Team members of the Organization.

**11\. Can I set both the board vote limit and global vote limit to the same value?**

Yes, the board vote limit can be less than or equal to the global vote limit
