Favorite limit

September 30, 2010 11:38 AM

"You hit your favorite limit for the day." - I'm getting this message a lot today, though I "only" have 30-40 favorites. I thought the limit was 100 or so ...

I'm using Chrome (maybe I should update) with AdBlock enabled, but metafilter.com is on the exclusions list. I also use the ZAP bookmarklet a lot, which could be related as far as scripts go, but I get the message regardless of whether or not I've zapped the page.

I've never had this problem before day. I favorite heavily.

You know that little scrolly arrow that Plutor made for us? YOU CAN MOVE IT! It's not bound to the last place you scrolled to, which is hugely functional. This discovery delighted me like you wouldn't believe. Still does.

This is useful if you've been directed to a particular comment in a thread, you read a little and get interested, then you decide you'd like to start reading it from the top and save your progress as you go. It's crazyhandy if you're me, because that scenario happens a lot in my mee-fye experience.

I have favorites hidden on my account. Maybe they could pool all the favorites that I and others who have disabled the system, so that those who feel the need to bestow them at high rates can put them to good use. (I know, that sounds a lot like socialism, and I'm fine with that.)

I actually would appreciate a serious answer to this too, as I also had the same problem and I didn't think I favorited that many comments lately? Did the daily limit get lowered?

I don't really understand the point of a daily limit, anyway, since I thought favorites were supposed to be up to us to decide how we wanted to use them. Some days on MetaFilter are better than others and on those days I give out a lot of favorites.
posted by Jacqueline at 4:42 PM on September 30, 2010

The limit has not changed. That said, it's 100 in a 24 hour period, not in a calendar day, to keep things simple. And it's intended as a kind of crazy upper limit, not a suggestion—the number of people who ever run into this limit is (I believe pb ran the numbers on this at some point) just really, really low. We put it in place more as a sanity check and a stopgap against crazy amok/abusive behavior than with the expectation that we'd see people running into it on a regular basis.

So, yes, favorites are pretty much yours to do with but reaching the limit is kind of outlier behavior to begin with and as far as I know there's no plan to change it.

That said, we can take a look and see if there's what looks like weird rogue behavior involved here, mrgrimm, if the 100-in-24-hours thing seems to you to be really off the mark. It's not impossible there's some weirdness there, since we have to deal with limit-related stuff so infrequently and so it wouldn't be super likely to come up.

EIN WITZ IN KAPSLÖCK

THERE WAS EINEN KLEINEN LITTLE BOY BORN TO PROUD PARENTS OLGA AND MATTHIAS NAMED GUNTHER.

HE WAS A HEALTHY LITTLE BOY.

WHEN HE REACHED THE AGE OF EINEN JAHREN OLD, HE WAS STILL A HEALTHY LITTLE BOY.

WHEN HE REACHED THE AGE OF ZWEI JAHREN OLD, HE WAS STILL A HEALTHY LITTLE BOY.

WHEN HE REACHED THE AGE OF THREE JAHREN, EVERYTHING WAS A-OK FINE BUT HE DID NOT SPEAK.

FOR THE REST HE WAS DAS SUPER, AND LATER HE WENT TO PRIMARIENSCHULE AND GOT ALONG FINE EXCEPT HE HAD AT THE AGE OF SECHS JAHREN OLD NOT SPOKEN A WORD.

THIS WENT ON FOR QUITE SOME TIME.

THE FAMILIEN GATHERED AROUND TO CELEBRATE GUNTHERS ACHTSTE GEBURTSDAGFESTEN. EVERYONE WAS HAPPY AND SUNG THE OLD SONGS THAT WENT "ACH, WAR ICH NOCH EIN KLEINE JUNGEN IM SCHWARZWALDGESCHMAECK" AND "IM WOHNZIMMER STEHT EIN TISCH" -- BUT NOT GUNTHER FOR HE HAD NOT YET SPOKEN A WORD IN HIS LIFE.

THEN THE SOUP WAS SERVED. EVERYONE WAS ENJOYING THEIR SOUP IN APPROPRIATE QUIETUDE, WHEN ALL OF A SUDDEN, GUNTHER:

"Mutti, mein Suppe ist Kalt."

EVERYONE WAR NATURLICH GEFLABBERGAST. MUTTI UND VATI, AUNTIES AND UNCLES, EVERYONE DROPPED THEIR SPOONS AND OPENED THEIR MOUTHS REALLY WIDE LIKE A HANGAR OR A TUNNEL OR A STORAGE AREA OF SOME KIND.

WHEN MUTTI HAD COMPOSED HERSELF, SHE FINALLY MUSTERED THE GALL TO ASK WHAT EVERYONE WAS THINKING: "BUT WHY NOW, GUNTHER? WHY WAIT SO LONG? WHY ONLY NOW?"

SAID GUNTHER:

"Bis Heute war alles im Ordnung."

It's got a lot of borrowings from English, but they tend to be sort of amusingly Germanized. The high point of the class was the guy who said that after a hard day's work he was totally ausgepooped.
