I don't think I would allow self-solutions posted or credited unless: the OP first posted at least a Tip/Trick, and then linked to it in a QA self-solution
How many times do you search for a solution for hours, then post a question, then, 5 seconds later, find the solution? I strongly encourage members who do this to post the answer. Contributing to the common knowledge base is more important than worrying about members trying to game a system. They would have to repeat the self-answering enough times to make a dent in their rep that their behaviour will be spotted and action will be taken. Let's focus on the helping the community, not on individuals.
