If they was manual and thoughtful "welcome" comments I wouldn't mind self upvotes, but self votes going towards bots or copy&pasters I don't think is right.
If @berniesanders and his team can take care of these proxy self voting farming bots would be great:
https://steemit.com/@newsteemians/comments
https://steemit.com/@hien-tran/comments
and there's probably several more. The #introduceyourself is always rife with such farmers and they give newcomers the impression of a scammy environment in which "Welcome"bots gain more rewards than the newbie who actually wrote the introduction post.
@patrice said she doesn't want to deal them nor has the steem power to do so, so I'm looking for someone who can.

Do we even know if it's mathematically possible to possess the SP to deal with that particular kind of spam?
I'm not even asking that facetiously. Given the prevalence and the extremely scattershot nature of that particular type of exploitation, what would the literal cost to stay ahead of its general production rate be?
If it's not possible, we ought to be able to at least come close to proving that to be the case. If it is possible, likewise.
Trying to deal with it absent that kind of information is sort of like jogging into the woods at night without a flashlight. We know there's snakes but we have deliberately chosen not to see them.
