I have noticed quite a few people self upvoting on their own comment responses, but they only do it after upvoting the person that made the comment they are responding to with an equal amount. I feel like that is a reasonable balance with the last hard fork I will call the self voting fork. I think self voting on your own comments is reasonable as long as you are also voting for the person that made the comment you are responding to. Spam comments like nice post or great post, etc are just spam and in my book should be ignored. Its important to help new users but at the same time we need to protect our own time spent on the platform. I think a half and half upvote is a great solution to the questions many people ask about self upvoting. This also encourages interaction on your post and is a win/win for you and other community members.
Let me know what you think about the Half and Half upvote option in the comments below
Do you like the idea or oppose it?
