Re:Ask HN: Is there a way we can prevent down-voting for dis... by KajMagnus on Tuesday November 28, 2017 @10:34AM (#15798118)
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

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)
