Up Votes and Down Votes, What's the Point?

Is there some sort of tally kept for each poster? Can you tell which posters are respected, or which posters are not based on the votes? Could one of the esteemed administrators let us know why this information is being collected, and how it is being used? Thanks.

It's just an upvote/downvote. Nothing more. Get used to it.

More importantly, why would anyone take the time to read and respond to Help Board topics, much less vote on them if it is pointless? I've never bothered to vote on a message on any board. If I feel strongly enough to comment I'll make my feelings known.

Obviously people other than you have a different opinion, including the people that operate the site.
