How to unlike a review?

[bvrakvs]

I mistakenly liked my own review, now I cannot unlike it, I can either click "Yes", "No", or "Funny"
Clicking the already selected option does not remove it...

What's wrong with liking your own stuff? If Valve wouldn't like you to be able to do it they could disable that. Since they don't, feel free to click all the thumbs up you can find.

I always find it cringy to like your own stuff, weird that you cannot remove it though, you cannot remove from other peoples reviews etc as well

I wouldn't sweat it... I highly doubt that one accidental self-like is going to cause you any problems.

I don't think own likes are counted anyway, so doesn't matter.

Apart from the self-like, the fact that you cannot remove the like is a big issue. I remember reading people editing their highly liked posts to a ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ insane thing, then valve banning all people that have liked the post.

It definitely counts in the way that guides only show a star rating if there are 25 votes, and yours can be one of them for a guide you made.

Valve can see the edits and likes and when they happened. You won't in trouble after the fact.

Except Valve doesn't take that into consideration when they administer punishment. There used to be a few posts complaining about people getting punished because an author edited the review to break the rules after it had already been liked.

This is also what I've heard, mods here are famously careless about unfair bans, rarely they do revert bans, unless you spam tickets and beg like crazy.
