“I have this question, too!”

[corywatilo]

A way to say "me too" without saying "me too"

Also shows level of significance to the community

Would you differentiate this from an upvote? (From #55)

[corywatilo]

Seems like this would be the same as an upvote, just on the question level.

Related: can you upvote/downvote without creating an account? (My vote would be 'yes' but since this can easily be gamed - which could be an issue for some users - we should take this into consideration.)

It isn't worth over-architecting this until it matters, but we should take easy steps to plan for this if it doesn't add too much scope.

Suggestions

• If a user is signed in, link a vote to their user record
• If a user is anonymous, count it, but separately (so if a Squeak! customer wants to not count anonymous votes, we can remove them from the total)
• If we can link an anonymous vote to a user (like when the voted while signed out, but then if they sign in, attribute it to them)

We should also make sure that, if (spam) users are deleted (along with their questions/comments), that their votes are removed too.
