RE: Only-Upvote-Others-Athon - Join Up, It's Free :)

It's really easy when crafting your post, though, to let it default to self-upvoting- but that's an oversight without much consequence for us minnows,(maybe a penny?) and many aren't getting that. That's not at all the same as when your upvote is worth a large sum, and you're far less likely to do that accidentally or thoughtlessly.

Sort:  

It's also very easy to detect that sort of manipulation. One or two other people also mentioned something I wholeheartedly agree with, that the prep and production work into ANY good post is worth recognizing- even careful proofreading is a valuable addition to crafting a post worthy of material recognition.

Yeah the default has it checked on, but with just one post taking it off from the same browser it will always be off after. Yeah, we don't pay much attention when our vote isn't worth much. But it's a systematic behavior that we all should pay more attention to and question whether we want to continue to do it as a matter of principle.
