In my short time at the Monestary I've voted ++ for:

• questions I might ask
• questions that show the asker has done some research
• replies that help someone find the answer themself
• replies with relevant example code.

I'm curious - how do fellow Monks decide where to apply their votes?

p.s. I've not voted anything -- yet, but found this enlightening discussion and this quasi-debate on -- votes.
