I have voiced my disagreement with this elsewhere, but I must reiterate that I am not in favor of restricting downvotes to comments you've replied to. Replying to a troll, for instance, is the wrong thing to do.
Also, that unnecessarily makes upvoting easier than downvoting. I happily downvote any comment that I think doesn't add anything to the discussion at hand, and it already takes up too much of my time.
If limiting downvotes sounds reasonable, upvotes should be limited accordingly. And the automatic upvote to one's own comments should be included under that limit. Though I'm altogether against such limits.
Good point. I retract that suggestion.
The automatic upvote to one's own comments is slated to be removed, with the stated intent to normalize comment scores to a baseline of 0. There's an issue entered in LW's Google Code issue tracker for this already.
