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.

uncalled for downvoats would help us make a list of shils and niggerfaggots trying to doxx basic users. seeing a list of whitefolk downvoating would help out niggerfaggotshils.

in a perfect world it would be fine not to show whos up-voting and down-voting. but knowing whos voting what right now would help notice redflags so it takes longer for us to end up like voat.

i vote yes on showing whos voting what

We've (@PMYB2 and I) discussed about it several times and since it's already enabled for posts (and has been a successful experience), there's no reason why comments shouldn't have the same feature.

Level 6+ can access the [voting details] option (available under the post's title) and see who downvoted a post

I am stopping myself from giving you a downvoted, just to be sarcastic.

No chicken soup for you then.
