"Vote up".

Question

How do you "vote up" someone?

I just 'voted you up' by clicking on 'vote' under your avatar. - katydew, Apr 27, 2013

Answer 1

You click on 'vote' on their answer or question. That gives them a point boost = vote up

Answer 2

I guess it is the same as "voting down"?

No, that would be 'unvote'..... hahahahaa - katydew, Apr 27, 2013

Or I guess flagging would be voting down since it deletes points from someone. - katydew, Apr 27, 2013

Ithink flagging is amiserable passtime. Un pasatiempo despicable. - annierats, Apr 27, 2013

Explain: After I vote up some one "Unvote" appears. Is that correct. - Rawl, Apr 28, 2013

Yes, because the option you have now is to change your mind and unvote them. - katydew, Apr 28, 2013

After I voted for you I decided to unvote/delete/cacel the vote. - chileno, Apr 28, 2013

Answer 3

Let us go further and fully explain "vote up" and "unvote" so that readers will be aware of rewards and consequences. It is a learning experience for me also as a new user. At what point should you "vote up" someone.

Different people have different ideas. I vote up for good answers in grammar questions or helpful answers or questions. On games, I vote up for encouragement to fellow players. When I ask a question, I vote up reasonable answers for helping me. - katydew, Apr 28, 2013

When I click vote unvote appears. Is that how it ought to be. I do not want to short change any one. - Rawl, Apr 28, 2013

yes, it appears just in case you voted them up by accident or in case when you read their answer again you see that it isn't correct. It may be that you don't want other viewers to see the vote and take it that their answer was correct. - Kiwi-Girl, Apr 28, 2013

It's just an option to remove your vote at a later date if you feel it's necessary for whatever reason, although it's probably unlikely you will do so. - Kiwi-Girl, Apr 28, 2013

Thank you. - Rawl, Apr 28, 2013
