I've implemented something like this, in another discussion system. I added a comment about that, here on this page: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=15798037 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=15798037 I have 4 vote buttons: (a Bury vote, in addition to the ones you mentioned) - Like = I agree / useful / insightful - Disagree — does not affect post sort order or karma - Bury — for moving "Thanks!" and "Me too" comments downwards, without having to delete or downvote them) - Unwanted — if you don't want that type of comment, at the site. Reduces the commenter's karma, moves the post downwards. This is the only vote HN has right now. 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
