So I've got to ask... do my posts not get voted up as much as the other regular posters' because an upvote doesn't seem to signal much, or because people actually don't like my posts that much? Vote up if the former explanation, down if the latter.
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.
