Wasn't going to originally downvote this as the post is quite good, but given the history of the author and years of self-voting under the guise of @jamesc's stake and now also trying to justfiy upvoting automated shitposts he profits from I think it's important to keep these self-votes in check, especially done with other people's stake and when they can cause certain posts to get overrewarded like these.

I was curious about this, and at least there is a comment explaining the rationale. I delegate to OCD, and I'm not sure I want to support a curation guild that downvotes good content, even if there is old beef. I cut off all contact with curangel for similar discomfort with downvote use.
That's totally understandable, as I said in and of itself this post was fine, albeit overrewarded for rehashing the same things and most of the engagement just being drama over downvoted abusers pretending they got downvoted for no reason.
I wish urasoul wouldn't keep selfvoting, on top of it all to do so on automatic stat posts that he literally has the untrending website for. It seems the intention is just to farm author rewards. He doesn't even seem to bother curating with the stake delegated to resonator most of the time seeing most votes landing on hbd.funder which points to just wanting to extract as much as possible for as little effort as possible. Something he's been doing for years.
Fair enough. I'm not taking any action immediately. It's late and I'll sleep on it. I think OCDB does good work overall, but I don't like contributing to punitive actions I can't fully weigh myself.
sure, we don't use that account often, last one was probably that one account buying votes
Not to mention a lot of other shady things he does, like using 2m HP proxy to unvote witnesses if they dare using downvotes as disagreement of rewards and voting up those who ignore his abuse.
I don't play those games, I even downvoted my own post today cause it got overrewarded or voted up by his "clique".
