Interesting changes.

• I'm guessing the limit is to reduce server costs?

• On auto-vote: I think a useful feature, at least for myself, would be a simple calculation for the percent vote needed to clear a users pending reward. I generally just up-vote anyone with more than $2 because it is too cumbersome to manually calculate the vote I need to not overshoot someone's pending. If I had an easy way to clear pending votes I would do it.

• Perhaps having a few power users able to clear pending rewards easily is a better way to tidy up than the votes per day requirement.

• I would consider treating your personal account as any other user. I actually forget to up-vote you sometimes because I don't see you in the normal list.
