Yesterday I was introduced to the latest edition of bots on the Steemit platform called Smackdown Kitty (https://steemit.com/steem/@l0k1/introducing-smackdown-kitty).   

This is a very controversial topic within the community, but I happen to agree that for the long term future of the platform something needed to be done about people being able to upvote their own comments at will.    For right now this only affects Steemit users with Steem Power above 1,000.

Should there be a bot following people around Steemit smacking down users upvotes if they upvote their own comments or should the Steemit developers just build something into the platform that prevents a user from being able to upvote their own comments is the question?

I would be curious to get your opinion if you think that this is a good move or bad move for the community.   Please comment and leave your thoughts below.
