Idea voting on Sift Talk
An idea just popped into my mind for the Sift. Sift Talk posts sometimes contain ideas for improvements for the site, new ideas etc. I think it would be nice for the original poster to be able to add a voting system to the post so others can respond to the idea in a easy way. This voting system can be as simple (as in: easy as the video voting system (upvote and downvote).
The main trigger for me on this idea was rottenseed's Sift Talk post What to do with dupes" and a post I made a while ago myself Top15 video's bugged? in which the discussion pretty much ended in no results.
This way it is easy for the developers of the website to see how much support or demand a certain idea has.

Awesome, *quality idea. We could sneak it in right under the post like the comment voting, but make it bigger of course.
Awarding Laekroth with one star point for this contribution to Sift Talk - declared quality by Fjnbk.
It's a great idea, as long as it's clear that it shouldn't be used as a tool to force the developers to do something
Voting's probably the worst tool to make important decisions but I guess it's a neccessary evil when the amount of people concerned are massive.
Ofcourse it shouldn't force the developers to do anything. It's about the idea itself, when or if it is implemented will always be left to the developers. This will just make the demand or support from the community more visible as in with all polls
Comment hidden because you are ignoring dag. (show it anyway)
I think it's a good idea. Though - I was thinking it might work better as a "poll" feature where you could canvas opinion over a question.
Dag, that's even better. That would also allow multiple options to choose from (?) The voting-option is the least effort as a voting system is already in place while the poll feature will need to be freshly implemented (or creatively borrowed
