As I understand you no longer get a reward for self voting it's only effect is to make it more visible
If someone is willing to invest their money into hive they can do with their votes as they please.
I vote all my posts and comments, and I vote for posts I like in communities I like.
I absolutely agree. Hence the downvote. I can also vote as I please, it's a two way street.
I never said you couldn't.
But you don't agree, you used your time and your limited downvotes to downvote me because you felt my behavior is something that you would like to change, as is your right, so you do not believe I should be able to vote as I like.
LOL...Your behaviour is not something I'd like to change necessarily, its something I disagree with. There is a distinct difference!
So how does the community reach consensus on what is acceptable and what isn't? We use personal voting to how approval or disapproval. You can't have one without the other! If you bought votes, it would rain downvotes on your post, big downvotes too so out of interest, do agree or disagree with paid for votes, and if not, would you use downvotes on someone who used them?
Is that true now, I hadn't seen that yet. Do you have a link anywhere where that change was made. That would be a good change if made.
Not 100% sure, I remember reading it around same time the comment reward pool was split out
Really? Where did you get this info?
I remember reading about it about a year ago around the same time the reward pool was split. Maybe it was just a proposal and never got done.
