It's great to see a mechanism to prioritize user requests.

That said, Uservoice is a terrible choice (as shown by hundreds of user 
complaints

here<http://feedback.uservoice.com/forums/1-general-feedback/suggestions/2300-per-user-vote-limits>
 or

because the same limited number of votes for all users has two major flaws: 

1. It assumes all users are equally good at coming up with good ideas. 
Imagine Thomas Edison or Steve Jobs had to use Uservoice. They would have 
no more influence than Average Joe. 

2.The point of having only X votes is allegedly to encourage users to vote 
only on the most important features to them. What tends to happen in 
reality though, is that users vote on the FIRST features they realize they 
need, or the FIRST ones they see on the UserVoice website. After that, they 
run out of votes. *Extremely* few users will go back to remove their votes 
from a feature they voted for first, and instead vote for a more important 
feature.

What the MLO team can do (if they want to keep using UserVoice), is to 
increase the number of votes to, for example, 100.
