Poll: How many of you would like an upvote button in WPCentral?

I personally feel that it would enhance the ability of judging as to how many people agree with our opinion.An up vote button would be a very welcome change.

How does that differ from the "like" button?

No. This isn't a social site. It's a tech site.

It IS a social site as well as a tech site.

Sorry, forgot to mention, If we have an up vote button, we'll have a down vote button as well....... Which will indicate how many people agree with us, and how many...... don't.

It doesn't matter if its a social site or a tech site.....I am just talking about new ways to express our opinion on others thoughts.

It's not the best idea to have such buttons cuz even though guys like you and I want it, half of the community won't be agreeing with you most of the time. And having such buttons could turn into some serious virtual riots, and as if we haven't been having enough of those lately.

I imagine it could cause some unneeded drama. There would be complaints about trolls and spammers coming in and making positive posts down.

I would like a reputation system based on likes and thanks though. It would let me users see if advice from a particular poster has been helpful over time.
