Anyone upvote their own posts when the count is tied?

For example you see a post you made has 3 up votes and 3 downvotes and you upvote it to break the tie breaker?

I cannot stand it to be tied. But I don't upvote my posts any other time. I just don't like a tie. Anyone else do this?

You can vote for your own posts?

Hmm, never really considered what others thought about my epistles.

I only upvote mine when it is stuck at one upvote. I don't want people thinking I upvoted my own post. So basically having one vote causes me to do the very thing I don't want to be accused of doing.

Honestly I used to habitually upvote my own posts. I realized how pathetic that was and no longer do it no matter the temptation.

I do sometimes however, downvote every post in a thread because someone downvoted my post and I don't want to be the only one getting shade thrown on.

I upvote myself to make people believe someone liked it, therefore it's ok for them to like it. No one wants to be first to upvote. It's too risky emotionally, so I make it less risky for them.

I don’t care (much) about my own posts’ counts.

Not enough for me to vote on my own.

I do actively up/down vote other’s posts if I feel strongly one way or another on them.

Why does anyone care about votes on an anonymous message board? Geez.

I upvote mine all the time because, in my mind, it deserves an upvote!

Post a pic of your shits because I belong to a big shitter’s message group and we post our award winning turds for the group members to rate and admire. With my trained eye, I’ll be able to tell if you post quality shite.
