Is self voting frowned upon?

in selfvoting •  5 years ago 

When you’re being targeted by someone for absolutely nothing? If your content is somewhat halfway not shit? Lol.

Asking for a friend of a friend. (That friend of my friend is me. I’m the friend of my friend. 🤷🏻‍♂️)

I’m getting shit on again and I was just wondering if moving forward, it would be ok if I am receiving flags, to attempt to counter them somewhat.

I don’t want negative attention, so I figured I’d ask before just doing it. It seems there are bots that might trigger and make things worse for me. Don’t wanna be put on any abuse lists accidentally!

self-voting has been a debate on here for a long time. You don't have enough stake that it should even be an issue.

Just trying to look long-term is all. When I do have enough stake for it to be considered an issue. I think it’ll ultimately be a non-issue, as there seems to be plenty of community support for me. I just had to ask where to get help with things like this and those who felt it was wrong came to help. Even if I didn’t get a full recovery of what was taken, I still think it’s fair to have lost something out of the flags. Albeit childish, imo, he has his right to his stake just like any other. I just want it to be a community decision, as opposed to a single person deciding that my value is undeserved. I hardly think my posts have been “overvalued” at 20-30 cents range. When I received help the first time... berniesanders basically set me up with I’d say around ten bucks worth of votes... so as far as that debate goes... I cannot stay unbiased, as he was willing to assist a complete stranger (me) off the rip, for someone doing things that sure, he’s done, but to a much worse extent. I can see the controversy behind him, but I like it tbh. It keeps shit interesting. I’m in no way condoning the behavior... but I think it does tend to shake things up and get people more motivated to vote and seek out those who need help. In a way, it’s fucking community building to have to come together to fight a force like that. Although, when that force is helping me out... it leads me to question all of their intentions. It’s evident they aren’t completely greedy... I mean, don’t we all want to earn as much as we can? The means by which it’s done is up to morals and ethics within each one of us, but isn’t what’s more important what is done with the stake? Sure, I’ve seen the self-voting a ton, but I’ve also seen a lot of giving. I’ve seen it first hand now. At a time when $10 is actually a shit ton of steem for the current market price.

The point is... I am just curious as to whether it is acceptable that within reasonable confines of perceived value, that I restore some value based on my stake.
Assume I have enough stake to give myself $1 and I have a post that earned $.08. Someone flags that post for 60 cents, I then counter it 60 cents, not adding value, just restoring. Would that be acceptable?

I may associate with people from all ends of the spectrum, but judge me not by them, only by my personal behavior and words. I am a curious person and I wish to have interactions with as many people as possible, to better grow as a person. This knowledge comes in all forms and different people can teach you different things. Not all of it will be positive, but we adapt. :)

well if you want to project forward to when you do have stronger stake .. the answer is... it's your stake and if you want to self-vote that is up to you. However you also need to remember that everyone else can use their stake as they wish too. Which means if someone wants to object to self-voting they can downvote you for it. There are no set rules on that

:) Word

Just keep in mind what we spoke of today. You have the potential to be anything you want here... steer on that road... let the rest be my friend...

I can only be what I am all the time. :)

So I will be that here.

What I am is many things. I was thinking about doing a series on it. I think I’ll start that today actually. Focus on something positive.

What I am in this scenario though, is a man.
A man who will speak to who he pleases, when he pleases. A man of inquisition, curiosity, wanderlust. A man who knows that the true strength of a man comes from those who support him, because alone we are only but so powerful, but together, we are a force beyond comprehension. Mostly, a man who’s chill as hell though and let’s the little things go. I address them, I take what I think are necessary actions, and I move forward.

Basically, you are right... self voting sucks to 80-90%
of the time, but then again sometimes it makes sense ;)
e.g.: I like to move up comments (those of others and my own
sometimes too) if i think the message is important...
Observe for yourself a little...

I think my base value should be given by the votes of others. I also think my vote should be used to give base value to others. It’s this equilibrium that I believe restores balance to our life as far as karma goes. Karma may not be so much about shoving positive into the world as it is balancing out the scales in life. ⚖️

True again, but also Theory...
You joined last month, like i say,
give yourself sometime and observe well,
behaviors of others and your own ;)

That's really a moot point until you have some SP.. but I upvote all my posts.. and my bot upvotes me also.. it's your SP... enrich yourself..

Like @shadowspub said: self-voting has been on debate for as long as I can remember. Some people do, other don't approve.

If you are receiving flags for no reason, you can address this in the Freezepeach Discord server. https://discord.gg/Z3AsMVU
They will probably counter them for you.

@berniesanders thanks for the help, but it seems this child is not stopping. Not sure what’s wrong with his head, but I feel bad for him. He thinks you’re the devil. Idk what’s wrong with this dude’s head, but it’s just sad that he’s continuing on.
