I’m glad to see the option of _not_ limiting votes get some traction. I think the next logical step is to give the option for the OP’s topic to count as a vote itself ([so I wouldn’t need a TC to do it](https://meta.discourse.org/t/topic-voting-auto-self-vote/394770) 😅). Perhaps an additional checkbox that becomes unavailable if you have limited votes active.
