wignu Let's keep in mind that this is not a Likes Extension. Therefore upvotes or downvotes shouldn't be seen as such. Many people were requesting this feature to add more functions to the purpose of up/downvoting a post such as giving ranks out of the amount of total upvotes, and so on.
The way I see it is that, as you own the post, you're supporting it, therefore, that's why you upvote it automatically.
On the other hand, the ability of turning on/off the autoupvoting sounds nice, but difficult and perhaps something that may not be done soon as issyrocks is working on:
- Improving the ranking system
- Adding Notifications to the whole extension.
Finally, I'd like to invite you to https://gitlab.com/ReFlar/gamification/issues so you can request this feature and then we can keep track of it!
