    I agree, but I would shift the grading one to the right. Good content is par for the course - it is expected. If I learned something, I will put down a like. If I find the entire post well-written, something I can sink into and appreciate thoroughly, I will put epic. +1 is just what I agree with, and generally for a shorter post.

    There are some exceptions when something just stands out as epic, even if it is short - sometimes straight to the point, standing against the flow in a good way. But the above is generally how I see it.

    I just give epics to very controversial posts. Say something I complete disagree or a personal attack, EPIC.

    Why because I think it is better than a thumbs down, and that often does not progress the conversation nor imply I thoughtfully read what the person said, but rather disagreed simply because I wanted to negatively mark them.

    @Gazny I dislike negative ratings without explanation as to why. When its easy to understand a critic’s opposite opinion then I dont mind, but otherwise I feel a fully worded rebuttal is required otherwise it comes off as unthoughtful or petty.

    It is quite annoying when it is used by people not directly participating in the conversation.

    And I too “like or epic” posts even if I dont agree because it takes effort to make a thoughtful post and defend your position, and some bravery to not give in to peer pressure.

    You have to go pure stupid to get me to dislike something. Reasoned debate that I have no plan in contributing I don't react to.

    Everyone one is entitled to their own opinion. I prefer a direct approach, not hmming and hawing, talking in circles, burying good info under huge heaps of useless bitching, and whining.
