I am just trying them out, I wanted to Set up a Product idea voting Category. I would like the topic voting and private comment Style however better.. I learned now there is no Category to enforce that. But on the other hand, I could mix them with normal Posts, that’s also good. Just need to Train the users to actually use them (or allow the moderator to turn a post into a idea vote (vote post) post then.. hm.
