Good post.

What else can I say?

Sometimes nothing might be better. :D

funny :-)

I can't upvote

😂😂 it is a good post though

It is indeed! I think it might be THE BEST!

lol funny.

Thanks for highlighting this. I've been up-posting my own comments. Is this a fopar? What is the non-scum bag way to up-vote content on steem?

Sure you can vote on your own comments, but voting them with a higher weight than the post you're voting on is a bit frowned upon in my opinion.

It kind of depends on the length of the comment and the content of the post of course.

Agreed. It's annoying seeing somebody did a tiny upvote on the post and then a 100% upvote on their own comment...

Sometimes I want to down vote content I don't like, but i'm worried i might get abuse. Can people see my down-vote?

Yes, this is all done on a public ledger.

Yikes. I don't like the idea of being seen down voting. I can imagine getting a lot of problems for doing that. How does the site tackle spam?

Through downvotes. @steemcleaners if you want to help but fear retaliation (or just need more vote power)

Thank you all for this conversation and thank you @rodent, I learnt something here! I can think of several cases when @steemcleaners could be applicable. Now I know what to do in the future. All the best, Klaudia

Oh I dream of the day when I can actually vote with different weightings haha.

I like to upvote other peoples comments.. that encourages their interaction with me.. and I vary the weight of my upvote according to the value of the comment..

Just my two cents...I upvote my articles but I do not upvote my comments.

I feel the posts are of quality...comments are for the author...I let him/her and the other ones commenting decide if it warrants anything.

Same here. It's a free market. People will decide.
For a post you've worked hours on, 100% upvote is totally justified.

Absolutely....no reason not to upvote yourself in that situation.

And I dont think many on here would argue that one.

It is the "thanks for posting" when people upvote themselves $3.25 and then dont even upvote the article that drives people nuts.

Seen this a Lotta times.. There's this user named @damarth... Commented on an introductory post and gave a smaller upvote weight.. And then upvoted his comment to $40+

Here's an example

That’s some pretty out there gaming going on looking at the comment history.

Raping the reward pool......

Yeah a bit disappointed, he used to mainly autovote in the past now he turned to that cause of the SBD spike. :/

good post :d
Oh, it's your new meme library, I see!))

avatar been

Ahhh those bots are so bad... It's always funny to see completly inappropriate comments under posts.

Yep, worst one I ever saw was someone discussing the death of his dad and a spammer had replied with

congratulations!

Hahahaha... 😂.. I bet someone flagged the hell outta him... Saw something similar the other day, the spammer replied with "great photo, thank you," on a post that had nothing to do with photos. He was so flagged his reputation dropped

Both of the worst I've seen were contained in the same post which was paying tribute to a passed friend. One left a link to his recent post about praying for people dying in a war torn country and about humanity being shitty or something, and the other was someone who spammed "Beautiful! This is a great post! Amazing! Follow me!"

@acidzapps I'm extremely surprised by this meme! Never came across such steemians :P (sarcasm)

Come on, that never happens on steemit ;)

One word for that... Flegged!!

yes i do that often, but flagging hurts me to isn't it?
can someone give me the "truth" about that please?
how does it work exactly ?
thank You!
@meesterboom

Flagging doesnt hurt you at all. It is simply a downvote and removes the amount you downvote equal to that you would have upvoted.

For example, If your 10% upvote is worth 35 cents then a 10% downvote would remove 35 cents from a post.

Also if you have a higher rep than the person you will remove a little rep of theirs too

One warning however, it can hurt you as a side effect if the person you flag gets pissed and starts flagging you back

got ya. thanks a lot ! :-)

Good post

Lol, this reminded me of a meme I have posted before for a meme challenge.

hahahha... speechless :)

what is this? i could not understand

I know some of these scumbags

Haha... I down voted someone the other day because of that...

Screenshot_20171224-161506.png

I am totally guilty of doing this in the introduce yourself section - but I (usually)upvote the post - do you guys hate me for that? Please - Let me explain:
I feel like it's a lot of work nowadays on the introduceyourself section as, many people are creating fake identities or stealing others identities.
For example: https://steemit.com/introduceyourself/@sabeboo83/your-bestfriend-is-now-on-steemit-i-am-a-cheerful-heart-of-cryptocurrency-as-well
This guy claims he is an Australian living in Thailand with like a masters in Law or something, but there was such bad grammar and punctuation, it raised many red flags for me...
So I asked him to put up a username and date next to his selfie, and of course no reply..
But meanwhile all these other people, mostly newbies, are commenting great post, welcome, glad to have you!

So to me this is an obvious identity steal, and maybe with more sinister intentions as he is telling people he will give them legal and crypto advice, which may be setups for various types of scams...

So, at the end of the day, when I have steemed all I can steem, and voted on the blogs and comments I care about - I usually self upvote on my comments at 100% until my voting power is depleted to around 75%. I usually self upvote my comments in the introduce yourself section as a way of patting myself on the back for my efforts to keep the ruffians out of steemit... That's what I tell myself anyway.

So - do you guys hate me? Or am I giving myself some change for keeping steemit a safer place?

I really would appreciate any honest replies on this. I'll even upvote you! ;)

EDIT: Also sometimes I see this happening when a controversial poster (usually a whale) puts up a controversial topic, and there are already a hundred comments like (good post) ( i agree) (you're right) and someone actually has something relevant to say that DISAGREES with the original content/poster. So they self upvote to get their comment above the sea of {FOLLOW ME PLEASE}... but they don't want to give the whale/ OP any (more) money.... Pleze Discuzz!

So, you know, like 15 percent of the population of Steemit then, lol?

Just photoshop a scum sucking fish onto this guys face and it would be about perfect to match with these type of users :P

GOOD POST

Not 😎
