The votes are just 'kudos' you give a person if you like their comment.. If someone gets a ton of kudos they get a little banner thing on their name.. it might be top helper of the month or day... or week.. I really don't know what the candies are sorry Welcome to the group.. so much to learn here, its a great resource!!!
