The voting button?

Does anyone use it often?

I have occasionally and noticed one of my recent post was given a thumbs up.

I use it when I LOL Remember, vote early and often!

I use it. The report button, too. Very handy.

+1

I use it when I like the post but don't think it's worth replying too.

And it accomplishes what?

It lets you say "i agree" when that's all you have to say.

It lets you tell the poster "nice post"

It makes a note of good posts for the new folks. The most marked go into "top rated" posts.

It's kinda like a +1

I like it, its great for those posts you really like but have nothing to add to.
