After posting something recently, I noticed that after stubmit, I had the approval nodelet available for my node; given that we still only need one person to frontpage a node, it seems that there's a potental abuse there ("I'm going to frontpage all of my own nodes! HaHa!"). Mind you, since you need to be level 6 to get that, it's doubtful you'll find someone trolling with it; certainly any small abuses can be dealt with by editors, but the point is to prevent it from happening in the first place. It's basically a simple logic; if you own the displayed node, no approval nodelet for you! But again, for something that I don't expect to be abused , that might be considered as extra work for our already-overloaded fearless leader.
