Hey @cicisaja! Just so you know, there is a small penalty for self-votes, and correct me if I'm wrong @abh12345, but the witness votes are there only because it's so important to vote for yours, but I don't think it affects your results. This league is used to keep track of your "engagement" stats and to encourage you to continue with genuine engagement and see how you compare to others here. I hope you join in @cicisaja :)
By the way, I didn't have time to research and fully understand all those who run for witness, so I have @abh12345 as my proxy; which just means that he's voting on my behalf. I trust him and have the same vision of what this platform can be and what's important, so he took care of it for me :) Something to consider (?) if you haven't chosen yours. You can always take your proxy back no problem, and he's also been very transparent in terms of who he has voted for and why.
There is a small bonus per witness vote you have, but not enough to make a big difference.
The best way is to put your name down @cicsaja and see where you are next week - I'm sure others will help :)
There you are! Can't I do that tomorrow... Let me understand the rules a little bit, I know you and others will help me too. I need to take care of some issues with my browser and Internet connection too. If @davemccoy and @lynncoyle1 told me to do so, there is nothing wrong in following their advise. Please, wait up until I come back with one serious question and then I assure you that you have too include me in the league ๐
Yes of course :D No rush at all!
Hi: @abh12345, I read your table carefully, you appreciate those who have 0 self votes, but in the other part, you also appreciate those who did self vote on the top 20, what's that meant? Which one is better?
I read an article yesterday about self vote is considered as an abuse to this platform, what if those who do the self votes gain their SP by investing in steemit, can't they do that to get the returns?
On the League 2, you mentioned about vote on other comments, on self post or others too? What about the dust vote (glad that I sign up for @dustsweeper already)?
If I have vote steem community as my witness but I voted for other bidbots provider witness too, is there anything wrong with that? What's a plankton like me can influence the witnesses by voting them? I have revoke some witnesses vote because I got nothing as an impact of voting them before.
Thanks in advance๐ค
And...
Please, Add @cicisaja To Your List๐๐ค
Hi @cicisaja
The higher up the league you are, the bigger the potential prize, and so with less self-votes you have the chance to get a bit higher up :)
This is related more to gaining visibility with your votes, and doesn't directly impact the League. Although the more commenting you do 'lower' down the conversation thread (like we are now), the better it is for your score.
Not at all :)
With low SP/vests, the influence is small. But it's the gesture that counts, to me anyway :)
Done! Welcome!
Thank you so much ๐ค
hiya lynn, i tested this theory and its actually a huge penalty when self upvoting. just fyi :)
One week it showed that I'd self-upvoted three times, but it was because of a curation trail I was following that included me in there too lol. Who knew?! :)
@lynncoyle1 oh snaps, yeah gotta keep an eye on that with the trails since they do that!!
