UPDATE: Removing self-upvote feature for comments
Dear all,
Today I would like to write a brief update regarding self-upvotes.
#### Self-upvoting comments
This morning, we have released a new update that removed the self-upvote feature for comments. As you can see - I'm using a screenshot from @demo-account, the upvote button for your own comments is removed:

#### Self-upvoting posts (articles)
You can still upvote your own posts. However, the only way to do so is by checking **Upvote post** down-right your post creation:

Once the article is posted, you cannot upvote it anymore in case you haven't upvoted via the above way already.
#### Why did we do so?
We found out that some users have abused self-upvoting their own comments. The most striking example is @senghuy who had posted many comments on old articles, only to upvote himself:

As you can see, his comment consisted only of one icon or one word. We believe that this abuse should not be tolerated. It's a shame that he is using his voting power to enrich himself, instead of helping the community and new writers by upvoting good content as well.
#### What can you do to help the Serey community? ####
The answer is CURATION. We need to downvote/flag bad posts and comments anytime we see them. If we believe that someone's post or comment is not deserving of owning much Serey, it's fine to downvote it - especially if you leave a comment with a reason of the downvote.
I wish you all a nice evening!
