RE: SAVE THE REWARDS POOL! Let's Talk About FLAGGING POSTS! You ALL Should Do It More Often. It Is Your Civic Duty.
Voting your original posts is perfectly fine. I'm talking about comments. Rampant comments that have no substance or just suck and that are only being posted so that, that user can upvote. That's what I'm talking about. I think that you're taking the content of this post in the wrong way.
Did you read the entire post? #1 is this scenario:
"I've seen countless users here that will drop by posts to give you a comment in the form of "lol," "cool," "nice post," "great content, check out my blog and follow/comment/upvote," "this is so funny," and so on and so forth. This would be fine and dandy, but these people are giving these worthless comments their own personal 100% upvote while typically giving you, the content creator, nothing in return. No small vote, no vote at all."
I read the whole post, but after re-looking at just the 1 through 6 I guess other peoples posts about the subject is still just resignation with me, because yeah, useless comments are horrible, but the exacting wording of that 1 through 6 is not specifying there is definitely okay times to upvote your comment (but even now, I am just taking a break from it because of odd backlash from various users I follow for the past week, whom are definitely not saying things for the same reasons you are). Your reasoning is sound and I completely agree with that.
Yeah, I might edit in some reasoning for when/why I think that it's fine to upvote your own stuff.
