I'd like to have an option for "OTHER" on the objections with a field where you could fill in a small explanation.

I spend most of my time on the M&W board and a lot of times there are topics or posts that aren't necessarily in one of the categories. I think the voting function is just about the only thing that will help turn that board around, but there are a lot of times when something doesn't really fit into one of those categories and I think that discourages people from voting it down when they can't find a box to check.

Redundant threads are a good example of things I would object to that don't fit into a category.

I would love the option to vote down duplicate threads.

If we had an OTHER option with a small limited-character field it would also allow us to "flag" things to staff. Again, this is mostly on the M&W board, but there are a lot of people who really, really stink at making thread titles. Coincidentally, many of the threads that are titled "OMG!", "Uhhhhhh...", "WTF?", "Hey Staff", "sips", etc. are some of the threads that I would vote down for reasons not listed as reasons to object to a thread.
