MODERATORS
 

Because to me, they seem like de facto "Agree and "Disagree" buttons, whether or not it was the intent.

Upvote: I agree at least for the most part.

Downvote: I have problems with the general content, or the source of the content.

No vote: I'm not going to downvote you, but I don't have to upvote you either.

No vote is the best way to let something just die out. Any sort of engagement would make it higher in the popular "hot" category so no action is the best for "this is shit and no one should see it".
