RE: Steemit's Got Issues! Community Discussion - Whales Cannot Decide Everything - Take 1

in #steemit7 years ago

This is a new one on me. I don't believe that Steemcleaners is flagging for simply Upvoting your own posts, because when you create a post, the capability is there and others have written about how important it is to do it. I believe they may be flagging those who are Upvoting their own multiple very cryptic comments!

Sort:  

Comment votes are downvoted by @sadkitten and I believe a couple more kitty bots.

I didn't know about that bot. I have never Upvoted my own comment, but when I see all the garbage comments with loads of votes and quality responses languishing, it makes me wonder about how fair the system really is. I saw a post the other day where someone highlighted a person who was really abusing the Upvoting of his own comments which consisted only of one or 2 words.

Yea, i know what you mean. The real issue is that if there is not a clear set of rules governing it then it is basically the site saying it is ok. Then, since the site is saying it's ok, it makes it questionable for larger accounts to be downvoting it. Kind of a catch 22 of sorts.
