Yes too I think "Upvote" and "Agree" are too similar.

Actually I've implemented a 4 votes discussion system:

- Like = I agree / useful / insightful

- Disagree — does not affect post sort order or karma

- Bury — for moving well-intended but boring comments, like "Thanks!" and "Me too", downwards. Without having to delete or actually downvote them.

- Unwanted — this corresponds to HN's downvote. Core members & staff can use it, if they don't want that type of comment, at the site. Reduces the commenter's karma, moves the post downwards.

Here are two demo pages: (scroll up a bit to see the "Some disagree with this" warning)
