RE: Voting 101 -- An Itty Bitty Fishy Guide To Voting Well (if over 1,000 SP -- this is not for you)
i have been a little confused but this post brought some clarity, i still keep removing my own old upvotes that ive made before i knew on my own posts cause i dont want people to ignore me, im just a minnow after all, cant afford being marked as tacky before i have even started. in the beginning upvote was marked automaticly when posting so i didnt know that it could be bad..
Don't remove your votes that is just as bad that is down voting and you don't want to down vote yourself just don't upvote yourself anymore, but some people think you should. I personally have found the more I give to the community the more I get back, that is why I don't self vote.
Oops, I've removed my upvote a few times, and I had no idea that was harming me. That's a whole other thing to discuss perhaps? Does that actually hurt my reputation or something? It says something about resetting the rewards, but I didn't care since I was not concerned about my rewards (I was removing upvotes from my posts and replies, not other people's)
thanks for the input :)
