And what happens when the self-upvoters start flagging the people who flag them, and then they retaliate, and then are retaliated against?
Where does it end?

If so many people start downvoting, the abuser will not be able to hurt them. Remember that downvoting consumes some SP too.
It doesn't end but it balances.
If you think that makes a civil war (I don't) then if you look around you will find that that war is constant and permanent, because that's that's what allowing for both up and down votes leads to.
Yes, this ongoing civil war in upvotes has me constantly unnerved... we should come together as a community and put an end to it ;)
Well, as I said, I don't consider there to be a war going on.
I know, just having some fun ;) Your analogy made a lot of sense.
Oh! 😅
