Every comment should have the following options:
Agree. Disagree. Report as Spam.
This would give me the option to view truly controversial posts that are not flagged as spam. A controversial post for example will have a LOT of Agrees and a lot of Disagrees and 0 reports as spam. Sorting comments by controversial can be interesting. Sorting by purely agreeable comments/posts is also interesting. Sometimes I want to go to a post that I disagree with and would like to sort the comments by most disagreed. This is interesting. This uses all this data on the website and allows me to sort it in interesting autistic ways.
Unfoprtunately Poal is kinda retarded and wants us to use upvotes/downvotes as a "I like this!" and "This is Spam!" with no "I disagree with this this post" option. Its a retarded idea. Or maybe they have some autistic reason for doing it this way that gives them interesting insight into the way they aggregate tons of data. I think its just a little short-sighted.
