I read this: Why is voting removed from new review system?Why is voting removed from new review system?

and saw Shog's answer.

I also read this: More effective closing / downvoting of junk questions to help with the signal-noise ratio?

Personally, I think it should be allowed. I am fine with reviewing close votes (having done so in the Review queue over 1k times, not even counting the vtc's on the main site). However, I often think it necessary to downvote them as well. Problem is...I have to click on the actual question link first and then downvote it in a new tab. That's crap, and causes me to simply not waste my time doing so. Yet, we as a community feel that voting is important. The site WANTS me to VOTE, but makes it cumbersome to do so on questions that obviously SHOULD be voted on one way or the other.

I see that SE has decided to remove this feature that was once present.

So my questions are:

  1. Should SF's review queue have this functionality?
  2. If YES, then is there a way to allow this functionality for ServerFault if the rest of SE doesn't want this feature?
