should be okay in moderation but also depends on the votes you get in general and the content you produce in terms of effort.

That's a bit vague though, and not coded. Some might (and some do)/take advantage of that i think. (Not talking about you, i've not looked)

Personally i don't self-vote and think it would be best to dis-able self-voting

Sorry but when saying things like "disable" self-voting, it is hard to take a discussion regarding selfvoting/votetrading abuse serious. Even newbies I'm sure would think "oh I'll just create another account" after a little while in this space.

Thanks for replying. i understand that, and am not saying it would be easy to implement, but i do think it could be achieved. How is a deep subject however, but the potential method i have in mind could have many other benefits to the chain (or community in which it could be tested). It is a big subject and would take a lot of work. We did touch on the subject about four years ago and i would be happy to discuss with you if it's of interest to you.
