RE: Self voting will now NOT be default steemit.com behaviour

[preparedwombat]

With @smackdown.kitty flag self voted comments with a 1%, incrementing for each self vote recorded up to but no more than negating the self vote

Care to translate that into English?

Sorry I was trying to keep it brief but maybe it's too compact 😉

The kitty does the following:

1. Every 10 minutes look at the new votes on comments and puts them in a list
2. Of those votes, it keeps the votes which are self votes on the list and discards the rest
3. It then discards any self votes from accounts which have less than 1000 SP, i.e. red fish
4. For each self voter it checks it's own database (or catabase 😂) to see how many previous self votes are on record. It decides to add a flag of N %, where N is total number of self votes it has witnesses since coming to life
5. Before it actually flags though it makes sure that N % will not have an effect greater than the self vote itself, i.e. it will only counter the self vote, and not flag with power greater than that

I hope that's a bit more understandable.

Please bear in mind that this is the old plan though. We are now proposing just flagging the top few self votes per day.
