Remove upvote limit.

So I know that after a Q gets 20 upvotes (200 points), the guy who asked the question stops getting points.

I think the point limit is useful, so that a user doesn't just post one popular question and end up getting enough points to gain privileges quickly. - Pokemaster

Directly taken from one of your answers about the point limit. We are not in the old days anymore, where one question that would have spelling errors would fetch about 5 upvotes. I think that if a question gets a lot of upvotes, the guy should get all the points. Nowadays, questions that gets that many points are very rare. Anyways, the reason for adding the point limit thing is kind of weird, because no new user comes on and asks a question that gets more than 20 upvotes. That's awfully rare..

I think that the limit needs to be in place, like PM said it would be to easy to gain privileges. for example this guy http://pokemondb.net/pokebase/user/uberchrisp would have a great number of points just for one question. If PM does decide to do this it would be best to him going back to hand-picking all Editors,Experts,ect.
I agree with Spumwack.
Yeah, I mean, starting from now on. That guy wouldn't get the points from the move combo Q. Nobody would get 600 upvotes in one Q and become Expert. Believe me.
If PM makes this it would do it even for old questions
Well, UberChrisp wouldn't be Expert, or Editor, so I don't see the problem.
Its also a semi-way of prevent spam upvoting
You think that a guy would create 20 accounts to spam upvote each of his Qs? xD
JCM's got a point. You see about 5 20+ upvote Qs or As in your time at the pokebase. There is no point in a upvote point limit anymore.
Four actually for PokeBase and four for Meta.
Most is 88 upvotes which is still only 880 points.
So I agree with this suggestion.

If it's not affecting anyone, I don't see a need to mess with it. Leave it as it is.
