![how-to-vote-hive-ecency](https://images.ecency.com/DQmRx4Yg761dDaBgAZVU4u1P1ysX4ZvcU71ieRqo6HMKARw/how_to_vote_hive.png)


# Upvote 

You can promote the author and their content by upvoting.

For giving your upvotes click ![](https://i.imgur.com/PYEhfam.png) which you can see after the post. Here you can further choose your voting weight with slider. After choosing percentage from slider, click upvoting button, that's it. Voting slider shows estimated vote value noticeable when you have more Hive Power at stake. That way you see how much potential reward, you want to allocate or give to authors. Consistently receiving upvote on content/post will increase reputation of the author as well. When account is new and doesn’t have any Hive at stake yet, they don’t notice anything big. Upvote value will have same strength according to Hive Power stake account holds. The more you hold more you have influence over which content gets into [Trending](https://ecency.com/trending) and [Hot](https://ecency.com/hot) topics across the network. Having more Hive Power is always great that gives you more Resource Credits as well so you can perform more operations on platform.

# Downvote

Reporting the content or disagreeing with potential pending reward of particular post or post which is abusive or disrespectful towards others, you can downvote them. Downvoting is negative upvoting potentially removing some reward from author. Downvoting will also influence author's reputation and overall influence how much potentially content will earn. Here also Hive Power stake plays major role, if someone with more Hive Power upvotes while smaller stake downvotes, reputation and reward effects are less.

For giving your downvotes click ![](https://i.imgur.com/SmDP2tW.png) and choose your voting slider. After choosing downvote percentage, click on downvote button to cast a vote. That's it!

@ismaelrd04 · 
A long time ago, the initiative to eliminate the option of the negative vote was raised; many people no longer use it.

However, being decentralized, and the fact that Hive has no control over the accounts, makes many abusers want to do whatever they want on the platform.

So, how to control them?

The negative vote.

It is very useful indeed, and it makes these types of individuals stay out of the way.

However, it is also a double-edged sword, especially those who abuse power and have large amounts of Hive Power.

There is no way to control that, people have different opinions and that’s alright. From our experience, we always see more upvotes compare to downvotes, stake of that votes of course indicate how committed they are to the platform.

Yea, I don't either. Downvoting is for me like I am making another "enemy" in an online society! So I better comment about my personal opinions if I feel disagreeing something. If the other is too aggressive to be discussed with, then I mute him or her :D.

I don't downvote ever. But I think it is a great tool to keep Hive community neat and clean because everyone have a fear to downvote. So, everyone only post genuine contents. We should teach in comment if anyone bypass the community rules in his post. But if he continuously doing that then we can stop him by downvote.
