So we've seen this talked about this a few times since downvotes on posts became public for users over level 6. The goal of making them public for posts was to prevent brigading and it has been pretty effective. A few users didn't like it and left. I think some of those people came back under new names. So the question is, should we do the same for comments, IE add a comment details button something similar that allows users over level 6 to see who downvoted their comments. We are looking forward to what the community thinks.

Presumptuous of what?

You implied voat was your site(also I don’t recruit users on voat anymore I haven’t for a long time and it was never recruiting it was telling people about an alternative I believe competition is good) Considering I’m guessing you haven’t even donated to voat seems presumptuous to claim it as your own.

It's the primary site I use, so I consider it my home site. Was there a reason you're trying to split hairs?

Just seems presumptuous to claim something as your own when you haven’t really contributed to it’s survival. All you do is complain over there too huh?
