On self-answered questions, is it inappropriate to mark my own answer "Works for me" immediately?

Would it discourage others from posting answers, if they saw that a question had an answer with a "works for me" indication applied immediately? (More so than just seeing an immediate, comprehensive answer?)

Could that ever be desirable? Or would it cause hurt feelings etc.?

I don't think it is inappropriate for someone to mark their own answer "Works for me" on self-answered questions, but it feels a little bit redundant since the answer is expected to work for the poster.

Absence of "Works for me" is still valuable information (1 comment)

I mostly agree. But if I were trying to solve something (difficult), only got halfway to a solution and post that in the hopes that it still helps somebody with the same issue, the absence of "Works for me" is still valuable information.
