Add 2 more buttons for each comment in forums: disagree and irrelevant

I talked about it a bit in another post. For making the forum better I suggest we add 2 more buttons besides each thread and comments. Disagree and irrelevant. Just like we have upvotes button. Disagree would keep things in perspective and encourage discussion. Irrelevant is for troll and spam comments. We can use those votes appropriately to decide which comments to delete and which thread to lock.

For instance comments with 20(this number is purely for guess work) irrelevant votes should be deleted. Offcourse some people may say that this system can be misused to delete important posts. Off course this is possible but I think majority of the community will only vote on things they feel worth while.

I think this can improve the community be more democratic and improve discussion just like upvotes button has done already.

Support

I agree, this thread is irrelevant.

This has been brought up before.. in general, the presumption is down vote and irrelevant.

If you want to calculate your downvotes... take the number of views and subtract the number of upvotes.

Well, I upvote when I like a post. When I don't, it doesnt mean I dislike, it just means I don't particularly like it. So no vote = neutral

Up vote has already reduced spam and is all we need. If someone disagrees they will say why and if there is support then any argument will be up voted. Look at why facebook has no dislike button, it only has negative connotations.

downvotes instead pls

The exact reason why we should not have a down vote button.

People who are saying they disagree and this is irrelevant are agreeing with me

It's a general observation... you, Autumn, are of course an exception
