It depends on how you want to view raping the reward pool? Since self-voting is not prohibit there can't be such a thing like raping the reward pool. Who ever has Steempower is allowed to do with it what he wants, thats the beauty of decentralization. Otherwise if we prohibit it we have a problem with centralization. Ether way its better to view self-voting not as raping its more like unsocial behavior which is pretty common nowadays in all kinds of businesses.

Well I agree to your argument but I can also understand that not every Steem user is a content creator, developer or witness. Most people you upvote them self are purely investors and they like to see ROI. In order to be able to create income for them they have to hold on to their large Steempower which is a good thing. I hear many users complaining about the price of steem...and thats why we need more investors on the platform who are willing to increase their steempower. This platform also can't survive just by content creators who keep on selling their earned Steems to the market. We need to make everybody happy here on Steem...content creators, developers, witnesses and Investors.

Yes, I really can understand your point and it is the investors responsibility to do the best for this platform in order to make it a success. But still in my opinion it ultimatley comes down to why did Dan Larimer implemented self-voting? I'm not quite sure about that but as long the users can use that method they probably will. So who you wanna blame for this situation the investor who is using his tools or the Developer who created it? I'm personaly not a fan of self-voting I only do it for my own posts which I want to be seen. But I also delegate half of my SP to bots and the other half I use for curation. I might be a "small" investor but still I using some of the ROI tools that Steem offers and thats also part of it why I think Steem is great for generating passive income.

Lol, I just said that I'm not posting with the reason of self-voting or whatever. If you look at my posts I do deliver quality but if you just wanna bash me thats fine...I don't care. I'm involved even in a local steem meetup group so don't blame me for the things that others are abusing this System. I'm just saying that users like hajin who really don't vote for others are only looking for short term ROI and they still can do it. So Steem should think about some kind of system where even guys like him can get their needs satisfied without posting garbage. But only complain about this people and try to talk moraly wont help anybody here. We need working systems were everybody ia happy and fits into his role.
