what makes you up or or down vote a post?

Bonus question: what makes you fav a image?

I tend to fave any picture I find funny or hot.

And try to upvote any picture I fav.

Oh, I also upvote images if I notice they have a negative score and don't feel they deserve it.

Pretty much this, except not every picture I find hot/funny/cool.

I vote down any image that was poorly drawn, or if it's something gross like presenting anus or something.

I fav it if it's hot.

If it's good, funny, or can be used for a later reference, I fav it. If it's extraordinarily good, I usually just remember it. And I very rarely vote anything down, but when I do it's for something really disgusting or offensive. Or maybe I just don't like it.

I mostly vote up anything I look at. I feel if it's worth looking at, I might as well throw the artist a +1. (yes I know not all artists are on e621) I also vote up comments that make me laugh and/or I agree with.

If I personally like it or not. That's what the voting system was implemented for, if I'm not mistaken.

I vote up images people hate, and vote down images people like. Same with comments.

*sigh*

As the obvious answer to the question, I favorite any picture that really stands out and appeals to me, which is usually something I can masturbate (gasp!) to. As for voting, I will upvote anything that I somewhat like, but may not be good enough for my favorites. Sometimes I forget to but I'll usually upvote anything I favorite. I reserve downvoting for any extreme cases of displeasure. I also try to not to let other votes influence my own, such as ridiculously high scores or pictures with high scores that I don't feel deserve.

So you're the reason every MLP picture I post gets at least one downvote?

Penis.

I favorite most pictures I really like, whether they're funny, sexy, or insanely well done. And occasionally the ones that are sad. I don't downvote much. Or upvote.

No, I don't vote on MLP images.

I often vote relative to the score of the image. A good but not excellent picture with 20 upvotes can earn a downvote from me; the same picture with a score of only 5 would be upvoted. I'm especially likely to vote when I disagree with a negative score; a picture that's bad but not horrible will earn an upvote from me easy if it's score is all the way down at -10.

I upvote a post that I like but don't feel like favoriting.

The statistics geek in me hates your guts. Luckily, the sane person in me doesn't really care.


As for me
I favorite the things I really like
I upvote everything I favorite, plus some things I like but don't feel like favoriting for whatever reason
I downvote the things I really don't like, mostly stuff that's very poorly drawn

I mainly just upvote things that artists post themselves to show support I guess. I only fav on impulse. Only if it was posted by someone else and is of exceptional quality, but not quite good enough to save to my hard drive. I downvote crystal-for-ever and that's about it.

I don't vote.

I suck at democracy.

It always bothers me when a picture has several comments, in which people openly express that they like the image, yet the post has a score of 0. -.-;;

voting is hard, man!

Simple.
Too busy masturbating to hit "Up."

It may be too obvious, but I tend to upvote the ones I really like and downvote the ones I really don't.

Less obvious, if an improperly tagged image comes up that should be on my blacklist, I will downvote it and add the proper tag. This usually ends up being muscle and hyper images.

If I find something really sexy, funny, or well-drawn, I tend to fave it.

I usually don't vote, but when I do I generally vote on images I like. I generally don't downvote because I just ignore/blacklist whatever I don't like (hint to those who constantly downvote every MLP pic on the site; you know who you are).

Also, I generally try not to vote on pics I upload. I'm of the opinion that if I bothered to upload it, the fact I like it should be fairly obvious. The only time I upvote my own images is if it has a score I feel it doesn't deserve.

I also don't favorite anything for some unknown reason.

the only reason I vote at all is because when I fave something it automatically votes up for me.
