- KajMagnus 9y agoYes too I think "Upvote" and "Agree" are too similar. Actually I've implemented a 4 votes discussion system: - Like = I agree / useful / insightful - Disagree — does not affect post sort order or karma - Bury — for moving well-intended but boring comments, like "Thanks!" and "Me too", downwards. Without having to delete or actually downvote them. - Unwanted — this corresponds to HN's downvote. Core members & staff can use it, if they don't want that type of comment, at the site. Reduces the commenter's karma, moves the post downwards. Here are two demo pages: (scroll up a bit to see the "Some disagree with this" warning) - https://beautiful.demo.ed.community/-6#post-14 https://beautiful.demo.ed.community/-6#post-14 - https://insightful.demo.ed.community/-7#post-3 https://insightful.demo.ed.community/-7#post-3
