Do you upvote your posts?

Question

In Sololearn, we can upvote or downvote our posts. Do you feel that it's a good practice to upvote your own post?

I am one upvote short of a badge and I just stumbled across this idea. Note that I am not craving for badges or XP as I already have decent amounts of them. I just want to know what you think of it.

Answer 1

Generally, I upvote any answer that is right and downvote any answer that is definitely wrong.
I believe most of my answers are fairly correct so I do upvote them so that they move up and other users can see them.
Like visph, I try to arrange the answers by using upvotes (and sometimes downvotes).

Answer 2

Up/down voting system is perverted by missusing it... I try to don't care about that, and even do as I think this must be doing to good use: so, sometimes I upvote my posts, or downvote them, just for putting them a little more at their place ( sometimes posts gets upvotes for nothing, and others don't even if they are good informatives posts ).

But I think also this will change if I don't leave this app, which have at same times some useful sides, even the Q&A section with all its defaults/limitations ^^...

Nobody's perfect :P

Answer 3

@Caleb Jore : Thanks for answering!
@Didi Danaila : Thanks for confirming!

Answer 4

You are right @Manas. It's like high five-ing ourself. But, as @visph and @Jafca said, we can use that feature to arrange answers. Anyways, I am leaving that badge for now and am not upvoting my post.

Answer 5

Caleb Jore right answer

Answer 6

It feels a little like high-fiving yourself

Answer 7

I used to upvote all my own posts and codes when I was silver...

When I became gold, I stopped it, it was like praising myself which is wrong...
