Why don't upvotes count? (kbin.social)

What is the possible reason why upvotes in Kbin do not add up to the overall Reputation, but downvotes do?

That's one area where Reddit made the right choice. You shouldn't be able to updoot yourself, but if you can, you definitely shouldn't have to manually updoot yourself. It should either be automatic, or not possible. Voting up one's own posts feels dirty, but if you risk your post not being seen by not doing it, you kind of have to. It's a weird mechanic.

On reddit, you automatically upvote yourself. You can change it manually to downvoting yourself tho iirc.
