Thank you...I never knew this...learning something new everyday here ;-)

Thanks for advice
I have a lot to learn from you

Good~~~^^

Does the 15 minute window apply to upvoting comments too? Is there any significant curation awards differences between comments vs posts?

How and why did you set such a low character lim

People put great efforts while reading, analyzing and commenting your posts so they must be rewarded dear. I do not have the slider option to control my voting power.

I do it on all mine. I think that is a nice thing to show that you reward decent comments add well as acknowledge them as well. Top notch tip!

I don't get that percentage bar for upvoting, is it because i am new?

Great advice! I know from my own experience that I feel more motivated when I see an author actively reply to comments and/or upvote them. It's a nice gesture to reward and interact with the readers that help posts become successful. Unfortunately, I'm at a stage where I do not have that much voting power yet, so I can't instantly upvote comments or posts with x amount of cents, but aiming to get there!

Oh thank you for this! I have a post right now that is nearing 100 comments (alot are mine) and I wasnt sure if I am supposed to vote on comments or not. I thought maybe the comments automatically got curation votes. Also, I never see a slider??? Im on android mobile..

Very good post :)

Thanks for the this :)

I do not upvote coomments very often but i always answer every one ! I wish my voting power was unlimited so i can do this :)

> Make sure to upvote these but there is no need to spend 100% of your voting power this you must determine by the relevance and quality of the reply that your post receives.

Well said, @mallorcaman

# A comment is also a post.
_Focus on the user. All else will follow._
### Why its worth viewing every comment as a post, even the _great post_ ones.
* ##### You _value people._
* #####  You can _learn_ new things, new ideas.
* ##### Many times, a well thought out comment amplifies your message, your thoughts.
* ##### Regular commenting is having a _regular conversation_ with people. You can make Dubai your neighbourhood living in Dublin, Ireland. I've had invitations to visit Pretoria, RSA & Hamburg, Germany thanks to a few Steemit comments.
* ##### _Prompts people to want to deal with you, rather than tipping you out of charity. when you beg for an upvote._
* ##### Trading upvotes is gaming the system. While whale-to-whale, this may work much like Rothschild inbreeding. For newbies, whose votes are a fraction of a penny,  _please upvote me, I upvoted you_  is a waste of time.

your post is very benefits for me

Agree 100%! Now following

I always make sure to upvote them all. 
For me upvoting comments is also another way to say "thank you for stopping by". ☺

thank you very much for helping of you to me. You are very good

Hi @mallorcaman, I agree with you 100%, I believe every comment deserves an up-vote, even if you don't always agree with the view given, like you say you can give a lower percentage vote.

Clever thoughts! Thanks, resteemed, upvoted, following you! Have a wonderful Day, Mallorcaman!
