I will see how things go with no self votes though, maybe it will be ok now.

It is a good idea, it will help to determine how much help you are getting back from the community as well. But as for me, I don't see anything wrong in self upvoting your content as long as a balance community is maintained.

Lots of people buy their ways to the top, they need to at least enjoy the rewards of their investment as well, though while maintaining a balance community like you do... Smile
