RE: How scammers are destroying Steemit and what we all can do about it.

I also never vote my own comments.
As the scam shows, it is easy to make a second account, post with it and then upvote those comments. So if we blocked self voting or self voting comments, the problem could still exist.


Throw him a witness vote as well, he does great things for the platform! I like @charles1 's idea of limiting the number of posts per day but that wouldnt work for comments. We want comments and engagement. Maybe you create max upvote values on comments and maybe limit the number of comments you can vote on in a thread. This could also create issues because I like to upvote good comments in my own threads. So I wouldnt want a max. Maybe you can only vote for another user account once in a thread. I think everyone should follow @lukestokes as he does a great job of flagging this type of behavior and bringing light to the issue.

Good point, @lukestokes already got my vote. Comments are great however such abuse by some people is bad
