Post History

"Different guidelines" is one of the motivating use cases for categories.  (See Rigorous Science on Scientific Speculation, for example, or Challenges on several communities.)  It sounds like this is a case of that and a category would make sense.

I *think* we can create a post type that would behave like an answer but wouldn't have voting buttons, if that's what y'all want.  If so, we could do that for questions in this category too.  That would mean that people could ask and answer but there'd be no scores.

Note that votes on posts contribute to "post score" which contributes to earning [abilities](https://music.codidact.com/help/abilities), so by removing voting from these posts you're taking them out of the pool of posts that can affect abilities.  Whether, in this case, that is a bug or a feature is something for this community to decide.

The other thing voting affects is the reputation number.  Reputation is now just a number; it doesn't gate abilities.  One change on our to-do list, but I don't know when we'll get to it, is to allow per-category configuration of both reputation and whether posts contribute to abilities.  If we had that, then you could keep voting but keep it "fenced", so to speak -- activity on ID questions wouldn't affect anything else.  We do not have this and I don't know when we will, but I'm mentioning it so you know we're thinking about it.
