RE: SELF VOTING ISSUE AND WHY WE NEED TO MOVE ON
I've wondered what the general consensus is on self voting and it seems like there isn't one lol. I know people who'll upvote their own stuff and I don't have a problem with it as long as they're using most of their votes for other people's content (like 90% or more on other content).
I will admit I have upvoted my own post before after my SP got above 1000. I've put more of my own money into my account than I've earned (I invested about 60-65% of what I have here and earned the rest) and used almost all of it to power up and contribute to the community so I don't feel I'm hurting anyone by self voting. I won't upvote my own comment on someone else's post though.
Interesting debate. I think there's much bigger problems to address than the occasional self vote, namely the rampant spam that seems to get worse every day.
I agree there is no consensus. So I would try to build one, that sez, forget about it...
I told many people to "stuff it" until the FAQ addresses it.
Seems they were not impressed by my argument.
I think the best argument, is there is so much more to do, our focus is better served elsewhere.
