Very wise move @gjones15! My recommendation would be to take it easy on how much you vote. It's very easy when you start to use your votes almost like a flare to help you get noticed. The best way to get noticed is to have real conversations with others on topics you can speak that shows level of expertise or personal enjoyment of that topic. I have you on right now what is a very short list and will be in touch with you on how I am going about this. My goal for those who join is that they preserve their voting power as much as possible because a group of us is going to be voting for your stuff anyways as well. If there is someone on here you get along with well I would recommend sending them to this spot as well. For your settings on the voting power level I would set it at 80-84 for right now. That will mean that you will not vote automatically with the group if your voting power is below that number. A lot to take in I know. I bring people along much more quickly when they are on discord. That is a great way to chat and instant message back and forth to lessen the learning curve on here. My discord handle is @cryptkeeper17 (#6637). Again, feel free to ask questions I am here to help. Well gjones15 very wise move my friend, I will get in touch again soon! Keep up the good work sir!

Okay, yes, it is a lot lol; but, I'm willing to learn :) So far, it's been great!!! Now... I was under the impression that I am unable to adjust voting power until I have fifty reputation score.. is this incorrect? And thank you for the suggestion regarding not using voting as a "flare;" that is a great description of precisely how I considered using self upvoting; though I learned pretty quickly that this was tacitly frowned-upon in the community lol, so I've since curbed the behavior. Either way, putting yourself out there and forming connections more "organically" is still the best route to take, as you stated. But now I should be more discerning with my votes on others' posts, is what you're saying... Okay! Makes sense. Oh, and I do have a discord account--I find the UI to be a bit to "gamery" (if that's a word ahah) for me--though perhaps I just haven't given it a chance, which is true. Either way, I'll look for you on there. Thanks again!
