When did it become 'cool' to rate your own work? 2 Months ago  
Isn't the point here to see what OTHERS think of your work? I've noticed several people giving themselves 5's when they reply to a comment in their stories. That seems, to me, a little counter-productive.

This is why we can't go on a story's rating to judge if it will be a good read or not.

Because people who rate their own stories are cruel hearted bastards with no souls.

You want to know something funny? I get on automatic pilot sometimes when I write a comment and click the ratings bar straight away before typing. In this way I have rated a couple of my own stories without realising! Whoops

In the past only 4 stories made it to the front from having the most hits. It was a proud moment when that happened let me tell ya since it was so hard. Might have clicked on mine a few times to put it there...hehe. Hey, never said I was proud. But now if I have done that it wasn't intentional

Yeah it used to not be an option to rate a story where you gave a comment. I had to remind myself earlier to not rate myself when I commented on my own crap!
