IMHO, it absolutely should be allowed, yes! The worst you could artificially
boost the scores on your own messages is relatively tiny anyway -- once a few
other people also have cast votes.
I would also argue that it's not necessarily _artificial_ boosting. I know
that for me at least, I'd certainly want to mark many of my own articles as 0
(neutral) and even a few as -1 (negative).
BTW, only Members will be able to moderate (cast votes). Much too difficult
to track things any other way.
