Interesting analysis, Jerry. Didn't think to consider the percentage voting. While I'm coming up on the scaled voting reputation myself, I think it is wise to consider the effects of self-voting with much more weight.

Is self-voting bad? I don't think so. Minnows should always up-vote their own posts to grow.

But it seems like self-voting with more weight should be done with a much lower percentage once you have a larger audience so you can spread your votes to curation, helping with platform stability.
