My voting bot also increases the upvote value based on the HP staked.
Interesting though the BOT is capped somewhat. I do some manual curation and do give out large votes to the deserving regardless of stake.
During 2018, I remember on several occasions the thrill of getting a large one myself. It's good to reciprocate.
I try to stick to the rules we've defined but it's not written on stone.
I keep getting feedback from curators & we've lot of back & forth.
Some rules stay same e.g. minimum hive-power, no-power-down, limited HBD/Hive outgoing
Some rules change - vote weight, rules for adding curators etc.
Sometimes I also go & vote manually for some of the posts.
but most of the time, I allow hive-curators community members to utilise the voting power for curation.

Do you have a routine to return the % of self-votes from all pending comments and posts?
I am using the condenser API, and it's been working great so far.
I'm looking for def that checks an account, gets all posts and comments by the author, and checks if any are self-voted, returning a percentage figure as a float.
Anything above 1%, (or defined value) does not get a vote. Could be another check for you?
Now, instead of keeping it limited to my bot on HiveCurators, I'll be implementing these rules on project hive-hound.
With this, every curator on Hive, can set preferences & curate manually.
Solominer posted about it here- https://peakd.com/hive/@solominer/hivehound-a-post-aggregator-with-filters
I posted it about here - https://peakd.com/hive-139531/@thehivemobileapp/2024-08-29-the-hive-mobile-app-update
Side Note: I am going to be honest about this - when my posts don't earn above 15, I most of the time self vote.
That's the only funding source for me for all of my self-funded projects (the-hive-mobile.app, hive-inbox, hive-hound, hive-polls, hive-threads, hive-donate, hive-witenss etc.)
Just for an example - Solominer's post about my app is earning more than the updates I shared ð¤£.
I've got employees to pay & I've hardwares to run which costs a ton.

It's all choices, I won't criticize you for this but I will say that people do notice and can adjust their voting behaviour accordingly.
https://hive-hound.the-hive-mobile.app/ would be better if the posts found are clickable, and open in a new session.
We started working on this project like solominer pointed out - just 48 hours ago.
@solominer, we were able to ship this quickly because we were able to utilise most of the things from https://the-hive-mobile.app
We're working on it & we'll have that feature by tomorrow.
