Title:

Device Savers Voting Ring buries good answers

Text:

I noticed Device Savers Team habitually upvotes it's team members answers---most of which are good.

I only care about points and upvoting from the perspective that the best answer makes it to the top, when people still have the energy to read :)

I noticed today in Answers that Device Savers upvoted their own new answer (3) bringing it to the top of a question about iPhone 5s blue screen of death.

Their answer wasn't great.  It is clear by now that BSOD in the 5s is going to be long screw damage or prox sensor or more.  The answer they gave failed to mention long screw damage, and instead gave lame advice to alcohol the connectors.

This behavior is not cool, because now the actual best answer on that thread is eclipsed since it has only 2 votes.

should iFixit allow team members to vote for each orher's answers?

Thoughts?
