I'm new to this entire operation and noticed while posting a couple of days ago that there's a checkbox for automatic voting. I clicked on it, and notice that lately this has caused me to "automatically" vote for my own posts. I assume that such a thing enables more people to have their attention drawn to the various pieces of music I've been posting, rather than adds any value to the post itself. But as I still don't really know what I'm doing, I could simply be mistaken. I notice my name being taken (hopefully not in vain) above, so I wanted to say simply that if it's not considered kosher to do it I will stop, but if people think there's no harm in it, I won't.
