Anyone is encouraged to vote in Articles for Deletion. I am one of the regulars on the Articles for Deletion. One of the issues that has been ignored in this debate is that many articles have been improved beyond recognition as a result of the Articles for Deletion process. For many users, there a number of articles in which they have an intereste nominated on one day and none the day after.
We should be encouraging users to participate in the process not discouraging them with artificial limits. It seems that many people who don't participate in the process are the most vocal about its supposed deficiencies. It's a bit like complaining about the quality of the politicians that are running the country while you don't vote.

Hear hear. Instead of moving VfD to AfD, we might as well have moved it to "Wikiproject Deletion." The last thing we need is a group of people who _specialize_ in deciding what articles are allowed in Wikipedia. The small, obscure articles don't get many people from outside the VfD regulars to consider the matter.
How about only permitting people 3 votes per day in total?
