RE: STEEMIT FAQ - Do posts get value from unique views?
Was your friend not able to vote at all or did this happen after voting on other posts? If it´s the later then he/she was voting to fast. Your voting power drains after each vote and it takes some time to regenerate. You can check your voting power at https://steemstats.com/
Any new account can't seem to vote at all right of the start. At-least the ones that have been verified through facebook. I have 3 friends that have reported this, and I have had the same issue. Just some error pops up says you don't have enough steem power to vote.
Curious if this is a new change or was it always like this
That happened to me, too, when I first came to Steemit. I spent time making comments and then I could make more votes. I don't know if it was the time passing or the commenting that made a difference. But now I seem to be able to vote plenty.
I wish there was like a F.A.Q. link somewhere on the community because that was uber frustrating.
I've seen changes in just the couple weeks I've been watching from the outside and then posting here in Steem. I'm sure things will keep changing, too. This is still version 0! If I think of it as all as an evolving ecosystem, it's easier to adapt when things seem strange or if they change suddenly. People are working on all kinds of strategies to stop computer-bots from signing up and then making lots of money, and other ways of gaming the system. That has got to take a lot of trial and error. Here's to the future!
A new friend joined last night, and didin't have the issue. Hmm so could have been just issues with the server when we joined
