Haha!! I just figured you'd wanna know. Actually I think a lot of people don't know that so don't feel bad. Also if you vote on a post that's on the "decline payout" option it drains it too.. I just pick up these random facts here and there hehehe..

I vote 100% on posts always. And scale down with no specific amount on comments.
I have never been too informed about these things. Just bumble along and hope I don't unintentionally offend someone with my ignorance.
I often vote on things after the payout has passed too.
Feedback and advice is always welcome.
