Exactly, I mean @lukestokes coming to steem to reap just the benefits for yourself, that's what I intended to say yesterday, does not create a good community. It's like stealing rewards. How do you see it?

I do understand that any rules we implement at the code level can have good and bad ramifications. I tend to agree with @lukestokes. I believe it is up to the community to fight these things. I caught a person talking to me for a long time on one of my essentially anti-communist posts who was pro-communism and blasting capitalism for all number of things while I watched him up vote every single one of his comments to me. It started at around $3, but our conversation was length enough it was less than $1.50 by the time we reached the bottom. So I finally pointed out that he was kind of doing here exactly what he was complaining about bad capitalist doing. He didn't say anything else after that.
I am a person that tries to solve these problems via words, and by withdrawing my support (votes, follows, witness votes) from people that don't seem to have the best interest of the steemit community at heart and are doing things that impact the rest of us potentially negatively.
I wouldn't mind participating in a hardfork experiment where they removed the ability to up vote your own comments. I understand the visibility aspect of concepts, but I don't think that truly makes a huge difference at this point, and I participate in comments a lot. I also up vote a large amount of the comments that interact with me.
LOL!
I think it depends if upvoting gets too nasty... Everything which helps grow the community into a healthy one... Take a look at our monetary system, a few (intended) mistakes here and there and there you go!
