Sure you can vote on your own comments, but voting them with a higher weight than the post you're voting on is a bit frowned upon in my opinion.
It kind of depends on the length of the comment and the content of the post of course.
Agreed. It's annoying seeing somebody did a tiny upvote on the post and then a 100% upvote on their own comment...
Sometimes I want to down vote content I don't like, but i'm worried i might get abuse. Can people see my down-vote?
Yes, this is all done on a public ledger.
Yikes. I don't like the idea of being seen down voting. I can imagine getting a lot of problems for doing that. How does the site tackle spam?
Through downvotes. @steemcleaners if you want to help but fear retaliation (or just need more vote power)
Thank you all for this conversation and thank you @rodent, I learnt something here! I can think of several cases when @steemcleaners could be applicable. Now I know what to do in the future. All the best, Klaudia
Oh I dream of the day when I can actually vote with different weightings haha.
I like to upvote other peoples comments.. that encourages their interaction with me.. and I vary the weight of my upvote according to the value of the comment..
Just my two cents...I upvote my articles but I do not upvote my comments.
I feel the posts are of quality...comments are for the author...I let him/her and the other ones commenting decide if it warrants anything.
Same here. It's a free market. People will decide.
For a post you've worked hours on, 100% upvote is totally justified.
Absolutely....no reason not to upvote yourself in that situation.
And I dont think many on here would argue that one.
It is the "thanks for posting" when people upvote themselves $3.25 and then dont even upvote the article that drives people nuts.
