RE: Do you think this user's voting pattern is good for Steem?
If the system allows its all fair. If you dont want to allow self voting ban it in the next hard fork and see how the steem users react to it.
"If the system allows its all fair"
The system is built to give the users the power to self correct. @transisto is allowed by the system to flag content that does not suit a particular view of what should be allowed on the system. This too is "allowed by the system".
When Transisto flags posts/comments that add no value to the platform my rewards go up. When other users upvote their "Thanks" comments that took no effort my rewards go down.
I know which side of that line I am going to be on.
If users want to upvote themselves, that's fine. I upvote myself one time a day, that's my personal rule. Other people don't feel that limiting themselves is an issue, and that is fine for them. I am a steward of Delegated Steem Power so I prefer not to take too much advantage of that, even though my delegators never told me not to upvote myself.
if those who are upvoting themselves don't want to get flagged there are two things they could do to avoid it. Upvote whatever they are responding to with at least the same VP as they are giving to themselves. And Write legitimate comments! You don't have to adhere to a word count or anything, but put in something more than two words when you are going to give yourself an upvote worth more than most users Top Level Posts are making! It really isn't that difficult to stay off of Transisto's radar.
Everything is fair upvote downvote. Its a free market. :p
Also I am pretty sure @greenman has given more votes to his followers and he writes some useful stuff about the finance world.
