I am curious what the negative in front of a vote means for example -1...I have seen it many times...just new here and kind of learning, TIA

That means someone's got a bad reputation, they've been downvoted by people with very high reputation, decreasing their visibility.
My post: How To Succeed On Steemit? should hopefully help you out about some general Steemit stuff...
But if you have any other questions let me know :)
I really appreciate you taking the time to reply, still lost lol- so that makes sense- I was way off in my thinking, I thougt it was giving a vote and taking it away...but that does not make much sense at all! I am about to read your post so that I can understand things better! ☺
Aha no worries :) You're referring to the number to the right of someone's name right? Yeah that's their reputation score. If you hover your mouse over it for a while it should come up saying reputation (unless you're on your phone ofc).
no you were correct the first time, You had the right number, but I just today got on from the computer because other people had said it was differnet- I have not seen the reputation thing yet..I will check that out! Thanks for being so cool about explaining all this to me!
I strongly recommend you read the steemit FAQ; Lots of answers, inlcluding one to your question
Thank you! I have read so many different ones from different people that I got confused...but thank you, you are right, I read quickly just skimming but I will re-read! :)
