@cmoljoe So what I'm learning is that a lot of people feel self-voting is a issue am I getting that right? Personally I feel if one build SP on here then it's their choice if they are self serving or charitable right? I mean I get that some might feel its not cool to behave this way, however we could also look at it as inspiration to build and stack SP could we not?

Of course group circle jerking is perhaps more debatable, however one individual doing so it more clear cut to me. Isn't it the same as having the upvote box ticked in our own editor page? I only recently realized that this is seen as poor practice and yet I'm pretty sure a minnow with no following would want to self promote at least to get seen in the first place no?

In the free world it can't be one rule for one and different rules for others, especially just because they've built up more SP? In fact isn't the whole point of decentralization to be free from rules entirely? Good food for thought bro, thanks.
