Yes, although I think there are other more important features to implement on the steemit.com website than changing an icon or some terminology.
BTW, do you know about dpoll? Why not use it?

The most important thing that has to be taken care of, is to make Steemit a more friendly place to come to and to understand, because now those in power as well as the user interface are extremely user hostile. You have to be a diehard poster/commenter now, to even stand it a few weeks here as things are now.
No truer words have been spoken, you have to had already earned your blogging battle scars to stay entrenched on this site. My only concerns are will down votes cancel out a up vote?...if they do then what do you do if someone decides they don't like you and stalks your comments/post just to down vote them for no other reason. Can/will down votes be able to be weighted according to SP...meaning someone with more power can just wipe out your total up votes?...if so nothing really changes, people can still be retaliatory out of spite instead of out of concern for the content produced and they will still be able to run over to your blog and retaliate some more. Though some probably think people don't think about that but they do. I did exactly that last week when I wrote a post and I didn't know how it'd be taken so I waited two more days for another post to clear that had earned a few pennies before posting the current post.
This place could literally be a blast if people didn't fear, say, getting in on a Bernie knock out drag out, it's be great, fun, fun, fun....but the fear factor exist of being squashed so people don't do it. Whatever is decided the fear of striking at profit (up votes, post rewards) has to be eliminated, the only time people should be losing rewards here would be out of abuse of the platform/reward pool.
Just to give people a good idea of the kind of fear that exist on this site the person behind the drama token offered twenty steam for the best article that could start some drama....and literally got crickets for a response, I think one person wrote something and even that was questionable if it was even dramatic.
The fear factor, the totalitarianism has to cease to exist and open debate left to flourish, once you establish that the site will flourish.
So Yes I am in if the only thing left hurting is one's feelings you don't agree with them.

Whoa, hahaha, yeah right! Wouldn't that be nice?
Many questioned the use of dpoll in the community election, and stated it should have been just done through comments. I think it’s one of those “you can’t please everyone” situations.
Possibly they aren’t looking for “consensus” but rather feedback?
feedback is also alright :-) Here is a good example from @stateofthedapps.
Because an interface could simply parse the comments and display the result based on SP owned
Hey, thanks for mentioning dPoll.
dPoll is a solution to get that kind of feedbacks, but not the perfect solution. In order to create a poll at dPoll right now, you need to use the Steemconnect. (which requires Active key sent to Steemconnect at first login.)
I can understand having sensitive accounts (like @steemitblog) makes the dPoll a no-go at the moment.
Steemconnect related concerns raised multiple times before. We're trying to address the situation by making SC as an optional authentication method. Voting via Keychain/3rd party transactions was the first step and already deployed a couple of weeks ago.
This exactly right. Dpoll and SteemConnect are both awesome, but we have to be extra careful. Thanks for understanding!
This is something I fully understand too. Looking forward to see dPoll being fully Keychain compatible.
