Well I say upvoting your own post is fine, but upvoting your comments look bad. But still, as we respect financial freedom, one has the right to use his/her tokens to vote.
This is more of a public side understanding than us blocking the functionality.
But if the still community thinks it's a big issue, We can think of disabling self vote on comments.
I think (I know, I'm a broken record on this) it's a property rights issue and if someone wants to use their property in such ways that is their prerogative. Coding to block comment voting would just force self voters to write 10 posts instead. I think if we all (and I know you aren't the one bringing this up, just saying) worried about our own property and stopped worrying about someone elses property none of this is an issue. I appreciate greatly the many stands the foundation has taken on this issue, as it must get tiring. It tires me commenting on it so often as it keeps popping up between the VTS and self voting.
Yes, whenever we talk of things, the same issues arise.
the only reason i even moved to blurt was because i am disgusted with the hive oligarchy constantly complaining about HOW PEOPLE CHOOSE TO VOTE
JUST LET PEOPLE VOTE HOWEVER THEY WANT TO VOTE
I DON'T TELL YOU WHAT YOU CAN DO WITH YOUR OWN MONEY

Exactly. I welcome all of the investors that wish to come here, and my liking them is not a prerequisite. Investment is a great value here, and if this is a place of free speech and respect of property then it is for all, not just those we like.
perfecto
You can disable but then it can be gamed by voting with an alt, so those who are savvy can do so and the common person cannot so creates a class distinction based on knowledge of the system.
Yes, when people depend on tech more than their own morale, this happens. And if one door is blocked, many new open
Not only it makes a distinction between users based on their knowledge of the system, but also on their willingness (or not) to "game" the system.
Some users won't even think about creating alts for voting. They lack the knowledge.
Other users know that they could create alts to vote on their main account's comments, but won't be doing that for a huge myriad of reasons. They have the knowledge, but don't want to jump through the hoops to make more money.
And, finally, the last group know how to game the system and are willing to game the system. And this last group will be the one being rewarded, as they'll still vote themselves and will harvest more reward than the first two groups. And this is wrong.

I understand what you mean, but tech needs to be downstream from culture....and a tech that rewards selfish behaviors is not a solid foundation for growth - nor does it give a positive signal (culture) to those who see other users with narcissistic behaviors, being greatly rewarded....
First of all, yes tech is meant to do things.
But self vote does not relate with culture or narcissist.
So before you say anything more regards to this, I say I am fed up now.
Why everytime mixing things.
Self vote means just voting on own content, does not matter what the content. But I always see the things mixed up.
I know your bad experience with hive, but that does not mean you keep on doing things, and saying like this.
Thanks for your response....
I don’t think any tech can fix anything if people want to they will find a way to game the system. It’s people that need to change and learn to be more of a community... tech can’t do that. I think megadrive is right it just ends up wifh technically competent ppl gaming the system.
Well, it seems that my freespeech is going to put me on the naughty list (and not earn any longer on Blurt - according to megadrive).... if this is allowed - and you (we) have no option. ie powerless - then it's no different than steem or hive...sad but true...
I'll be doing a full post later, in response to megadrives comments.
This is beyond ridiculous - from a practical, philosophical, ethical or moral standpoint.
It's an exercise in power over those who say things that 'hurt the fweelings' of others.
An exercise in trying to control others freedom of expression.
GREAT JOB RUNNING OFF PEOPLE WITH 800,000 BLURT
I'll treat this comment with the derision it deserves.

Personally I agree but I also agree ppl can have an opinion on it, those that don’t mind various behaviours will continue to vote for that person people who don’t like it will stop. It’s a free market on opinions and upvotes right now. People are free to say they don’t like it and stop voting for someone who’s behaviours they don’t like but they can’t take away money others have given in support.

I never realized that you viewed the validity of people as 'more' or 'less', depending on their stake size.
Choosing to engage in a dynamic that distorts free market economics is freely available to do here.
It doesn't make it a good idea.
you obviously don't understand what a "free-market" entails
