What are votes? (merged)

Is there a way to vote?

Ok Ive done a short research and figured out votes are just to show appriciation. Its kind of like a popularity contest, too.

To vote for someone you like (or dont like.) just go to their profile by clicking there name in the forum or looking them up, and where you see the stars, just click which star you think they deserve. 5 beign the most, 1 being the least. It averages out, if it was lower and you give them a higher rating, their average goes up slightly, if you give them a low vote and they had a higher score, their total stars decreases a little.

Did this help at all for anyone? I guess its just to show how well or respected member you are. I noticed a girl with over 100 votes and she had over 4 stars. Wow. She must be pretty popular.

i dont know what there for but i found the best way to get a lot of votes is to never leave except my back and my butt starts to hurt after a while!

IDk

But I don't think i'm doing so well

I have a very low rating :/

Is there a way to know who voted for you?
