RE: Keeping away from the temptation of upvoting yourself on the Hive blockchain

When it comes to self-votes I like the approach Reddit has made. Every post and comment are automatically self-voted up. This way users don't have to wonder if it's OK for them to like their own posts/comments or not. As a bonus, instant +1 gives you this nice feeling that your post is net-positive. If it's not, people will vote it down. There's really no reason to start vote counter at zero. Also, apparently karma is not directly connected to upvotes. https://www.reddit.com/r/AskReddit/comments/16lxqv/is_there_a_way_to_stop_autoupvoting_yourself/
