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.

Has there been downvote abuse with the influx of new users?

Yes there has been. Some don't seem to want to stop and I'd rather see the community have the tools to deal with it themselves.

Couldn't agree more. One of the reasons I made an account here was because the drama on VOAT overshadowed discussion. The clique of addicts responsible all behaved like niggers, every one of them. When they were finally "managed" belatedly, they came here. I left for about 3 months because I knew they'd pull the same shit here and eventually be banned. Which is exactly what happened so I came back. It's highly amusing watching the ones that are still here under new names have to curb their anti-social tendencies. Haha!

Sbbh still runs voat, there is zero management over there. They are now trickling their way into poal trying to do the same thing they did to voat.

I'd rather they vote my way instead

really... my account was created a year ago, but only been active the past few months. I was attacked.... it was fucking stomped-reversed quickly

Some tried and failed.

Then it would be good for the community to be able to see it. I'll vote for the change.
