Are there any major platforms that give users a limited number of votes? How does this work? Are votes rationed constantly or by site usage (ie for every twenty comments you read you get one vote credit)?

Slashdot did this (maybe still does). I don’t know the exact mechanism for determining how many. They also had meta-moderation where they’d give you a list of posts and votes and ask if you thought the voting was fair. Doing that was supposed to make it more likely you got votes. I got them regularly and then one day never got them again. I suspect it was because I “failed” in the meta-moderation voting, but I had also been critical of the site and there were rumors of a blacklist.
