RE: An apology to my vote trailers for two accidental upvotes on this account :(
Honesty is the best policy!
Removing votes is goofy though, you don't get the vote power back, instead it gets burned. I sometimes got mixed up on esteem with the level of my vote, and I would try to cancel the vote and put less percentage. Well in the end I am just wasting more voting power.
Cheers Carl!
Yeah I was aware of that aspect, but I was kind of hoping against hope that if I removed the upvote maybe the trailing votes wouldn't come in. But they did. I figured better to address it openly and honestly than hope people didn't notice. I know I would be more than a little upset myself if I signed up to follow a vote trail that promised to only reward truly original creative posts, and I found out my vote had gone to boost a comment in a contest nomination post. Oops. Mea culpa.
