An account like @daveks self-voting sets an example for others. When a small account is found to be voting their own comments they are usually addressed pretty hard for it to ensure it doesn't spread and become a plague. That's why I mentioned it to daveks...it's not at all about the 0.04, it's about the principle of the matter and the message that a large account self-voting sends.

I get it. I thought it was weird too when I first noticed it, but, considering the post, I quickly realized why he was doing it.
He does have a valid reason for doing it, and his reason does point to a feature that is lacking in the current Hive. Does that mean it’s necessary? I don’t know.
I’ve suggested some possible alternatives to Dave and he is open to them.
I mention the value of the post in my comment to him, because when someone has a valid reason for doing something, and the “abuse to the system” is minimal, why can’t it be overlooked?
Like I said, though, I get it.
I understand...but the problem is when multitudes or people from a country where cents make a difference come along and see it then emulate the self-voting of comments...It'll be a shambles. Things like this happen already of course and daveks can do as he pleases. I just don't feel it's legit.
I'm not the police though, just a Hive-nobody with an opinion.
