For some reason I can star some questions but not others.
It's not only questions I have posted an answer to myself because I can not vote on [this one](https://topanswers.xyz/meta?q=26).
It's also not only votes on meta because I can't vote on [this one](https://topanswers.xyz/databases?q=15) either.
However I can star [this question](https://topanswers.xyz/databases?q=69)
What's the logic behind this?

Originally you could only vote on questions of type 'meta question', or 'blog post'. This meant that normal questions on the 'meta' community could not be voted on.
To keep things simple, we have disabled 'meta questions' in the 'meta' community, and allowed voting on all normal questions instead (again, just in the 'meta' community). ***So now you can vote on everything 'meta'*** (except your own posts of course). This is a feature — the use of meta helps build the site and keep things organised, so we want to encourage it.
