Note that this is a general solution to the problem of conducting a quick off-the-cuff survey on LW without affecting karma, but you need to be able to view negative scoring comments.
I like your solution Byrnema!
Something you could consider is adding “(and downvote the downvote post to neutralise karma)” to the two alternatives. This somewhat aleviates the problem of the non-displayed negative karma post.
Edit: Pardon me, I just realised that me replying obfuscates the survey. Since people will inevitably have comments on a topic that don’t qualify as either ‘yes’ or ‘no’, an extra post by the surveyer into which replies can be made would be useful.
