User Stats & Votes

[Samuel Shipley]

I was hoping somebody wouldn't mind providing a brief explanation of the user stats and their purpose, especially the "votes." And if someone could provide a link to that information that would be great as well. Thank you in advance!

Sam - this is like many forums and social media sites. A "Vote" is like a facebook like or an instagram heart. 

Over time, they add up, and hopefully that gives you some insight into the quality and quantity of the poster. 

I have the most respect for people, and weigh their opinions most strongly, who have hundreds or thousands of posts, and many, many more votes than posts (love a good 2-1 vote to post ratio). I feel that this showcases someone who has spent a lot of time thinking about real estate, has seen a lot of questions, and has good frameworks that have been validated by the community with positive feedback.
