I had to react to how they would react and find a way to continue. But from this experiment, now we know that only the community can expose it but cannot stop it. The rules need to be changed in the code. If i were them, i would just take my tokens to an exchange open a new account and start all over. There is always a way to continue. As @bl23c mentioned it, take away self voting in comments and leave it in blog posting only as its more obvious that way to see it happening. Allowing to post on older blog post was not allowed then and now it's being used as a tool to hide. If it were not for developers making new apps many falws would consume this platform.
Wealth is power unfortunate here in steemit as in real life. There has to be a solution for equality. I have removed my flag and I apologize. Also this was never about money, i have made my wealth in ethereum. When steemit was dropping in price it was a blessing as i switched to Ether and bought it at $8
I agree with what Paco is saying here! Blame the rules!
All self voting should be removed, period.
Congrats on ETH!
