I do a lot of cross-posting because of my role at CEA. I’ve noticed that this racks up a lot of karma that feels “undeserved” because of the automatic strong upvotes that get applied to posts. From now on (if I remember; feel free to remind me!), I’ll be downgrading the automatic strong upvotes to weak upvotes. I’m not canceling the votes entirely because I’m guessing that at least a few people skip over posts that have zero karma.
This could be a bad idea for reasons I haven’t thought of yet, and I’d welcome any feedback.
Could the option to strongly upvote one’s own comments (and posts, in case you remove the automatic strong upvotes on posts) be disabled, as discussed here? Thanks.

Just to clarify, you know your self-votes don’t get you karma?
...nope. That’s good to know, thanks! Given that, I don’t think I’ll bother to un-strong-upvote myself.
