3. Think that is a bad thing. Using your stake to upvote your own comments on your own posts allows you to be an ass without disrupting the content economy, but doing so will get you flagged. Running a bid bot that upvotes crap posts will allow you to be an even worse ass because for you it is just like self voting as effectively all the money flows back to you with current ROI at about 100% for bot users, but while doing so, you will be disrupting both the trending pages and the reputation system. Measures that drive stake holders from being an ass in their own little content bubble towards being an ass in a way that disrupts core features of the platform isn't improvement IMHO.

Have a look at this poll, seems by the votes to far, I think all these options need to truly be carefully considered before implementing measures that make passive stake holders move to even more disruptive use of their stake.
