Thanks @consciouscat for tagging some folks to help them out and i am super glad that you appreciated my humor and gif selections! hahaha

To answer your questions... i could be wrong, but i think if you vote on a post that is past the seven day payout period (or has already paid out) then the rewards connected to your voting stake go back into the reward pool. So, essentially it just uses up your voting power and counts as a vote but doesn't actually do anything beneficial for you or the person you are upvoting.

Thanks for your keen eye towards my tags! Glad you got a good laugh out of that one. I actually did too. hahaha Thanks for taking the time to read the post and comment. Hope this answer helped and hopefully it's correct! hahaha Thanks for the Lolz and Cheers
