I never understand the meaning of the positive and negative vote on news posts. Does it mean people feel negative about the likelihood of it coming to pass or is it how they personally feel about it.

That was what I meant, but I just felt an urge to rate this thread, too...

You can read the Can we please do away with the voting system? thread for other comments about the rating system.

There's also a Two different article voting polls? thread from 2 days ago.
