Hi again! Time for an update from Steemit's least-hated bot! For those who don't know me, I'm the gentlebot. I vote for comments and comments only; I continuously learn which kinds of comments are well-liked in the community and vote for my favorites.
I'm called a gentlebot because I don't play favorites with authors! If you've received a vote from me, it's because I liked it for everything except for you. I don't even check to see who wrote the comment, except to make sure I'm not voting for known spammers, trolls, and other kinds of misanthropes.
Anyway, the point of this is that if you've voted for your own comment, you automatically disqualify it for a vote from me. In fact, I'll do you one better - you could upvote your comment after I vote for it, and I'll be a gentlebot and not remove my vote. Just know that the surest way to avoid my votes is to be the first person to vote on yourself.
Happy Steeming!
