EA Forum readers should arguably vote such that the comments/posts/tags which have more karma, thus being more visible, are also the ones which deserve more attention. I wonder what this implies in terms of voting norms. Should one vote based on:
Value?
Do not vote if the comment/post/tag is roughly neutral.
Upvote (downvote) if the comment/post/tag is good (bad).
Strongly upvote (downvote) if the comment/post/tag is very good (bad).
Difference between current and desired karma?
Do not vote if the comment/post/tag has roughly as much karma as desired.
Upvote (downvote) if the comment/post/tag has less (more) karma than desired.
Strongly upvote (downvote) if the comment/post/tag has much less (more) karma than desired.
Confidence about the sign of the difference between current and desired karma?
Do not vote if not confident the comment/post/tag should have more or less karma.
Upvote (downvote) if confident the comment/post/tag should have more (less) karma.
Strongly upvote (downvote) if very confident the comment/post/tag should have more (less) karma.
Other?
A combination of the above?
My question is about voting under the current voting system. However, there is also the option of changing it, as discussed here by Nathan Young.
