RE: About Author Etiquette and Forced Votes
That's interesting Norbu. Do you upvote all the comments that are made? Regardless of what they say?

Yes I do!
EDIT: unless I know it is a bot or known spammer!
Interesting. Can I ask what your logic is behind that? Do you feel it's 'good manners' to upvote comments? A way to reward people who left a comment?
I have always felt building a community shall be crucial for the success of steemit and that everyone will have a sub-community for himself (followers) over time. To build followers some work shall have to be done, and I start with being polite, which is how I look at an up-vote for someone who has taken the time to read and comment on my post. I do not see it as a reward to entice similar participation in later posts, but to interact, have a conversation and just be polite.
Refreshing to see your point of view on this. I don't associate upvotes with being polite though, but I can see where you are coming from. I'd rather leave a reply to a comment than to upvote. I find that is a much higher show of respect and appreciation. After all, voting power is limited and finite, commenting isn't.
Well we have our opinion's :)) I don't see any reward in an up-vote which gives SD 0.03., it's more symbolic for me as an acknowledgement and appreciation for the commentor who has taken time and indulged in my work.
