<p>Yesterday I noticed that a person answered his own question.  That didn't concern me so much because it looked like he honestly didn't know the answer but found it as he did more research.  But what really bothered me was that he was able to give a check mark to his own answer. Does that mean that he awarded himself 15 reputation points?  I think reputation is only to be given by others in the community to show that they respect your knwoledge and the quality of the answer (in the case of an answer). Is this what actually happened or am I in a stew over nothing? Could it be that you are allowed to check your own answer but are not awarded the 15 points?  I have never tried this so I don't know.  If you can give yourself point this way I think it should be stopped for the integrity of the system.</p>
