MODERATORS
I upvote posts that are interesting usually. A higher score means more people may see it.
I usually upvote most people that reply to my comments even if I don't agree with them. It's my way of showing appreciation for the time they took to engage with me.
I don't like to down vote. In my opinion it shouldn't be used as a disagreement button. More for people who are needlessly rude.
I generally reserve downvotes for problematic things, including but not limited to someone really pissing me off. >.>
