I've noticed this trend for at least that last month or so.
How come no one is giving a positive rating to people in the Community Discussion for posting something useful or educational?
On the first page of the Community Discussion I think there are 3 positive ratings on 3 different topics, which is pretty low considering how many comments there are on some of these topics. I'm not including the sticky post because that stays at the top and more people are clicking on that than the topics that get rotated off of the first page.
I can't say I'm not at fault of this as well, I've given a thumbs up or positive rating here and there, but I know I should be doing it more than I am. I've read plenty of great information and forgot to show props to the poster. But how come this is happening?
I've seen plenty of people get thumbs up or positive ratings on their comments on great discussions, but not the discussions themselves. If I went through a popular discussion I could probably tally up 10+ positive ratings on comments when the main post has none, and that's sad.
We need to change this, but how? We need to give credit where credit is due. I think that if you want to give a thumbs up to the Original Poster on additional info he or she added as a comment, that's fine. But you should also show some love on the first post and give a thumbs up 
Giving the original post a thumbs up is like give the person who posted it a pat on the back and saying "Good job". It literally costs you nothing to show someone you liked their discussion, so go do it lol

Well good question and debate about this matter. I guess it's just not very common to vote for posts or replays here on community discussions. I do vote. Not all the time, but very often. It should be like some sort of motivation boost to some quality posters so i would call to everyone to really use voting. It's just click away and not time consuming, so we all could start in doing it more when there is some quality discussion and specially on quality tutorials. It's kind of rewarding to original poster and let's do it, all of us :)

I also love adding smiley faces everywhere I go too. It makes the world a happier place.
But seriously these thumbs up and down are there for a reason so let's use them.
On a note related to this, something I find annoying is having to scroll up after I have read a post, especially a very long one, so I can go and give a thumbs up. I believe adding a thumbs up and down at the end of the posts/ comments too will encourage more use of them? I love this post and I think that I am a regular thumbs up type of person. I don't know why but if I like something I almost always give a thumbs up on it. I also love adding smiley faces everywhere I go too. It makes the world a happier place. :) see?
