Reading the RSS feed, it's a significant extra step to vote. I'm more inclined to do that for new authors than those I already think highly of.

I also assumed that, as admin, your posts were automatically promoted. But maybe that's something you only sometimes elect.

Since you're using the data to judge reactions to your work, I hereby promise not to employ any (counter)-biasing strategy in praising you.

Again, that's fine! You don't need to change anything! I just need to know whether LW is telling me to shut up or not. The relative data on which posts of mine people like more is still good.
