I think upvoting your own content should be taken away. Why? Because in my eyes it keeps the same people on top with their posts. Yes, they did well in the past by making a great post but does that mean the new post is that good? I am no saint, I always click the box as well because otherwise I get hardly any votes at all. ( Not that it matter to me, I will keep posting) But it would be great to see more and different kind of people on the HOT and Trending list.
To be honest, I am very scared when it comes to down voting! I don't like that option at all. Not because I think I write such bad things but it can totally wipe you out. If and when you post something and a whale downvotes your post you can say good bye to your reputation.
For now, I will just vote for the things I really like. I am not giving my votes to a post just because it's on top.

I think this vote is automatic, because I posted a small article today and it only got 1 vote, mine, and I didn't vote for it.
