Getting away from the upvote/downvote paradigm is a great idea and it's still early enough in this net community's lifespan to get people to use it that way

I guess you see what's going on in the database so you know for a fact whether or not other people are using it as a downvote. I'm just saying, why invite the connection? You could use some other neutral object like a balloon emoji.

Did you understand what I was referencing in 2? I kind of turned it into a joke so I hope it wasn't confusing.

We can't see that in the database, we still don't know why they clicked it.

I like it. Yeah your 3 makes a lot of sense but we need some suggestions. This balloon thing sounds alright. Maybe a party hat?

Did you understand what I was referencing in 2?

Yes. The way it is now with the "username (karma)" in the header on every stinking page is pretty obnoxious now that you point it out.

So all in all these are some epic suggestions, thank you.
