Thanks for the comment.
Interesting. I haven't seen or heard anything like that.
What I am talking about is that people should be upvoting all comments made by others. I do that all the time. I think all of the comments to this article should be upvoted as it helps the people commenting. I'm correct, right?
that said, if I were running in an election, wouldn't you vote for your self? It doesn't seem wrong??
If isn't "allowed" why does steemit allow one to upvote their own comments etc.?
Where do you see stats like you are showing there? You obviously know more about this than I do.
thanks again for your comment
People really have to decide for themselves if they want to vote for their own post/comments or not. Some people think it's OK, other think that it is not. You just got to do what feels right for yourself, but beware of some people that flag "selfvoters". I'm not sure if people are still actively flagging anything, but I remember people complaining about this a few weeks back. Anyway, those stats are from http://steemnow.com/

Thanks - I appreciate the input.
What is "flagging?" I haven't heard the term previously.

It is kind of like a downvote, and remove rewards from the post/comment. So before the payout anyone can spend their Voting Power to reduce the reward of posts or comments, effectively taking away their earned reward. Note that this only works before payout. Most people don't really use flag at all, but some do, especially when there is drama involved.

I''m all in favor of low "drama" myself - LOL
I don't like "office-politics" at the best of time, so Steemit politics wouldn't be top of my list either. :)
thank you for the explanation.

You will see next to the comments on the top right a little flag icon. It subtracts the same value as your upvote would. If someone of a higher reputation flags you it also affects your reputation score.

Oh they are still about. None mind an element of self votery too much but done people consistently vote up all their own comments and those are the ones that invariably get flagged too buggery as it were.

Nobody said it wasn't allowed. It is allowed but if you were voting for yourself in an election you would vote once yes?
When you vote multiple times on yourself for a monetary reward it just looks greedy and undermines the message you are trying to send about helping others.
If the one who is helping others helps himself more then is he really interested in helping others one might wonder.
Steemstats or steemnow will show you this kind of info.
And as I stated before I do upvote all comments... unless spammy or worthless as in "nice post".
You may have missed the chat on how people perceive this add your have not been here as long as me. It certainly does colour opinion though.
But it's your choice, I am not maligning you by stating this.

Thanks @meesterboom.
Great learning more about this great platform and community. I'm taking offence, don't worry about that.
I'm only wanting to learn and know more so to increase my voting power to help others. But of course, hopefully by helping others, we will also help ourselves over time.
I've provided, I think a great deal of good information through my many posts. My overall voting "power" hasn't increased as I would hope it would have. I'm not sure what that's about. But stilling posting away and upvoting others as much as I can.
I'm going to follow you to hopefully learn more as well.
thanks again for your comments and interest.

Your voting power increases relative to the amount of steem power you have so as you gain in that your VP will increase. As long as you continue to post quality content this will increase.

I've got over 1100 Steem Power now.
Not sure if that's a lot or not?

It roughly equates to an eleven cents upvote I think at full power. Or roundabouts that with the current price of steem :O)
