Limit Votes Per Day [#424050]

Hello, I'm stoked about this module becoming bigger and better, I look forward to the changes. In the meantime, how could I go about limiting the number of votes a registered user is able to post per day? I can't have the voting be a free for all, it needs to be limited to three per day, but every 24 hours I want to reset the counter and allow an additional three. That being said, the max votes a user has will always be three.

This may not be something necessary for the module itself, but any tips on how I could implement this myself? Thanks.

Another use case: Limit total amount of votes. A user can select only one node he prefers, after one selection he can no longer select any other node (of a specific node type).

Vtonig API let you set the Anonymous vote rollover(admin/settings/votingapi), but it has not the ability to do that for users, since IIRC, it allows only one vote per user.

Please correct me if I'm wrong.

Maybe this is a by design.. let voting api maintainers to decide about it :-) or correct me :-s

A limit on votes per day would be a great feature. Here is some code which does just that, for flags: http://drupal.org/node/955724

Perhaps it can be used as a starting point for a Flood API Module some day, with submodules ("Flag Flood", "Vote Flood", etc.) for the different modules?
