Board Votes: Agree, Disagree, Irrelevant

It would be great if the voting choices on the boards had 3 options:

  1. Agree
  2. Disagree
  3. Irrelevant

That way people don't misuse the downvote (which currently means irrelevant) to try and disagree with something.

This would be really cool to have more options to explain your voting on why a thread is good or bad - ex: to even have a 4th option of "Relevant" - you may not agree/disagree but you may think it's a good discussion.

Sadly, the current boards software stores votes as a flag of "this person voted + or -" on the post - thus adding more would be like adding signs to the number system - quite complicated and honestly probably outside of the scope of what we can do. I'll make sure Wuks sees this though - we're always working on changes and while this may not be able to be implemented in the voting mechanic itself it may be possible to implement something similar elsewhere! No guarantees - but we'll look into it :)
