Its not just the buttons, you first have to get the idea across, what
exactly they are evaluating. If you do it well, why not? ButI still
think you emphazise one overall category, and can still add the other
two categories.

No, but they are personal comments people stand for. If its an
anonymous rating system, people may feel that they get rated down,
especially if they are not so thickskinned. And it would anyway show
up on their profile, if they have made many usefull posts. So the
button is not really necessary. I would always like to keep things
less personal.
