Sorry, din't get you!
You're free to upvote any comment here as per your wish (except your own). For me, I haven't read all comments yet.

80% of the bounty will be shared need on your upvotes and 20% based on other upvotes. If you don't upvote any comment them 100% of the bounty will be shared based on other upvotes. And this indeed encourages self voting.

Thanks for this info! May I add that if I flag on the self-voted comment, it will drain off all its bounty reward?

And why are you concerned if community decides 100% of the bounty instead of only 20%? Let them do what they do naturally. I have no problem with commenters and their upvotes here.

I also think you are right about that. A flag removes the full bounty reward.

Well if you don't upvote anything you have a small risk of a late entry including an (self) upvote. If someone does that 10 minutes before pay out, then you should be lucky to notice.

Thanks for being so concerned! Frankly, I don't consider it as a risk. This bounty is generally availed by my followers ...and I do note who is maliciously trying to cheat on bounty. Of course, you can get away with it once ...but not always. Who knows, I may remember that user next time? 😉

Taking your concerns into account, I've upvoted almost all the comments here. I'm also giving you a token upvote just to let you know about this.

Thank you 💓

Thanks for this last comment and the good feedback!
