Hi Steem,
Just another quick piece info from @steeminformation,
For those new to steem I want to explain the basics of "Upvotes".
-Upvotes are your method of conveying your sentiments on a certain post or comment/reply. If you like the post you can upvote, this sends the author a reputation boost and adds to what the post will earn the author based on your own power. This is very important for the development of steem community!.
-Your upvote power is controlled bye your own reputation and your "Steem Power", you also have a percentage bar for your upvote usage, as you upvote this gets depleted and needs time to regenerate. You can check your current powerbar at steemd.com/@yourusername . Your upvote will mean more if your powerbar is full. Enjoy.
Using the flag at the topright will give a negitive vote, but should only be used for offensive posts usually reserved for spam. Use this sparingly as it will use your powerbar with no positive effects or curation rewards.
Thanks for reading and stay tuned for more @steeminformation.
The upvotes are also categorized as curation rewards, if I understand right. Another way to check your voting power and potential payouts is from steem.supply/@username.
Downvoting a post can decrease pending rewards and make it less visible. Common reasons:

Hey tunnelrat, this is true upvotes will dictate curation rewards for a post, as a standard post will pay a percentage to curators(earliest upvotes/resteems). Thanks for bringing this up @tunnelrat . @steeminformation
