There should be a better way to stop these people. Steemit isn't truly decentralized, right? @ned could change something that eliminates these characters. I don't care for regulation, but also can't locate and punch these turkeys in the face. There is so much vote power being wasted on policing the site versus rewarding content. @ausbitbank

Agreed. We need a hypothetical mathematical model that demonstrates the damage done over time to Steem through self-voting at different degrees:

Percentage of users doing it 0-100%.
Frequency of ave user doing it 0-100%
Measured impacts on Steem economy in terms of growth of:
A. Steem users,
B. STEEM value
C. Steem morale
D. Any other metric

We need to make our case and do public education.

That would be great, but I think part of what makes Steemit Steemit is the fact that it's run by its members mainly and curated by its members. We're all part of a nice little experiment about the mess that is humanity! :-)
