@1chemistdown In this reply, I didn’t meant the upvote, but the boost (which is basically the share option). But the boost will add to Reputation. And I can boost myself.

So in short in Kbin currently:

• upvote does not count as Reputation,
• downvote count as Repuation,
• and boost (share) count as Repuation.

It is easier in mass to upvote or downvote without spamming the system. Boost option won’t be used as much. So the ratio for self regulation is lost.

That’s one area where Reddit made the right choice. You shouldn’t be able to updoot yourself, but if you can, you definitely shouldn’t have to manually updoot yourself. It should either be automatic, or not possible. Voting up one’s own posts feels dirty, but if you risk your post not being seen by not doing it, you kind of have to. It’s a weird mechanic.

Yea on reddit the automatic upvote that you get when you post or comment dosen’t count for anything. its just an upvote that just shows there!

Karma is just virtual, don’t bother unless it has a functional purpose.

Hey, thanks! That’s terrific. You’re doing a great job.

@ernest Thank you! Sorry I deleted my reply you was answering to, because I thought my question was useless. I didn’t want confuse anyone here. It’s just good to know this is worked on and not something by design.

Thanks @ernest! I noticed I suddenly had more reputation on my profile. Came seeking answers. lol.

You fixed it and I hate it.

Yes I do have 990 rep now, but I hate karma whoring.
For the future please consider something like a relative score, maybe +4 to -1?

I want a refund!

What a champ!
