Votes on Meta often signify agreement/disagreement on content and not research-usefulness-clarity. Shouldn't the tool tips match that, so newbies like me won't get confused? I suggest "I support the idea of this question"/"I oppose the idea of this question".

@DoubleAA Right, and loads of related questions there. The two agreeing answers are +84✓ and +23, and the disagreeing one is –40. Since the votes on Meta signify agreement, the |status-decline| puzzles me. – Adám Jan 12 '14 at 21:45

1Pay attention to who wrote the -40 answer. – Double AA♦ Jan 12 '14 at 21:47
