Use flood control API in votingapi module

Sure, that could be useful. Can you submit a patch?

I was involved in that Flag issue three years ago, and it's still open. If you would like to get a similar feature into Voting API then it will require a patch, test cases, and user feedback reported here in this issue.

Because flood control is something that is useful in many places, and because very few contributed module implement flood control, I find it more useful in general to use Rules to write the workflow processes on a site. Detecting floods and doing something about them (even if it's just logging) is a workflow issue that affects the site as a whole, not just individual modules.

What does your patch have to do with flood control? Nothing. Why did you post it here?

Probably an hones mistake. Funny. We've rebuilt the feature that triggered the flag issue years ago based on voting API and I came looking for a similar feature. You are right that that issue needs TLC. It's also an interesting insight that it might be more about what you do with the action than anything else. Is it, strictly speaking, a problem if someone/something triggers many votes?
