Idea Exchange - Posting New Idea Automatically Counts Your Own Vote/Voting for Someone Else's Automatically Follows Post

I think the Idea Exchange should automatically count my own vote when I post an idea. It should also automatically follow a post if I vote for it until there is a "posts I voted for" section. I would rather remember to hit "unfollow" if for some reason I don't want to track something's progress than have to remember to hit "follow" after already voting each time.
