Not really abolishing won't help much...
but one way can be to award 50-50 when you upvote some else and only 20% if one selfvotes and a penalty in reputation .. Or there are many other ways... This is one thing which the core team has to sought out as soon as possible
Actually, I reckon that abolishing self-votes would actually be quite a good move. Otherwise, people will soon start to focus their voting power on themselves mainly. But we'll see how this will play out in the long term.
that's the problem with capitalist economic systems. You put people into a position where they can make money off of the collective and they will jump at the opportunity. That's how it always has been.
Yeah... Hoping for the best.... As I have seen this trend from big reputation holders.. They too are restricting themselves to upvote good comments now..
Ok... On a more serious note: Do you have an idea how to improve the system? Would it be a solution to simply abolish self-votes?

Very true my friend. But can you blame people "exploiting" a broken system?
It depends, what really gets them killed is fighting to keep that system in place.
