Nope that's really unfair. It's not about the money, it's about the percentage.

Besides it's impossible to prevent self-voting with multiple accounts anyway.

Good point. We need to appeal to common sense with a public edu campaign. To be effective we need a hypothetical mathematical model that demonstrates the damage done over time to Steem through self-voting at different degrees:

Percentage of users doing it 0-100%.
Frequency of ave user doing it 0-100%
Measured impacts on Steem economy in terms of growth of:
A. Steem users,
B. STEEM value
C. Steem morale
D. Any other metric

We need to make our case.

I agree. I think the percentage is the main thing whatever your view of what's acceptable.

Here's the tool I was working on yesterday, in case you didn't see it:

Very useful indeed. Thanks. I don't like to waste upvotes on people who excessively upvote themselves.

Good point on percentage. If you want to upvote to bump up a post you can give it 1% instead of 100%.
