    How about a second vote system for agree/disagree, because I agree with you in principle and try to use it this way, but in practice the votes are definitely used for that. Now that I write it out though I realize people will just double smash both buttons when they disagree anyway.

      I wonder whether up/down, like/dislike, etc… is the right concept for discussions. Slashdot’s concept of attaching a label like “insightful” or “off-topic” when rating a comment seems like a good idea to me; the UI nudges people toward the admin’s preferred reasons for voting.
