nah... you're fine ;) your quota is in a totally reasonable range with 15%

You'll only see a minor deduction in cuddle-intensity and you'll fall-off the likeability ranking in an almost regular fashion.
Anything below 20% is totally fine... If you had over 80% the kitten would ignore you by default... in between there's a a progressive "penalty" in terms of reduced cuddling ;)
Yeah, I'll probably upvote my own posts until I'm well powered up. And since I just heard about the .02 dust vote threshold, probably more- since I wouldn't want to waste my friend's voting power with their small votes. It'll be like them going half on a coffee for me.
Perhaps it's able to be offset by 1:10 ratio of other voting. If I increase my voting for myself, I'll increase other voting too. That's a lot of voting lol!
Well if the kittys love me for now, that's awesome. I'm so upset about the news of the dust vote. Smh. Ah well. If I ever get blacklisted, I'll totally understand and the love shall be unrequited limmerance on my behalf.
Yeah... the dust threshold being at 2ct was new to me too... I always thought less than 0.01 wasn't paid out (e.g. 0.005SBD)... but the 2ct mark is a disappointment! I'll retune the kittens in the next few days so their votes don't go to waste anymore (they currently target the 0.01 per vote - i'll up that to 0.02 and decrease their frequency accordingly)
