Since there was an overwhelmingly strong response to the poll that people like the idea of comment downvotes being public, and an overwhelmingly strong amount of butt hurt from a certain group (you know who you are).
We have decided on pushing it early instead of Friday, which means you are getting it today! Comment details for everyone above level 6 (aka Yellow Kamikaze).
So now you'll see a small button in the line of buttons below your comment that is labeled 'details'.
Give it a click/tap and it'll take you to a page showing who downvoted your comment (assuming someone has).

Sincerely Poal.co Admins (Boobs) &

P.S. Thanks for all the feedback guys. We really appreciate it.

You are currently at level 3 almost 4. You could easily at your commenting rate today get level 6 tomorrow. So I fail to see how this is a limitation you can't surpass.

I don't decide what is caring for you, but I do have to decide where the lines are its my job, it comes with paying the bill every month. I've enabled people to donate but for the most part this site has been funded entirely by me. So it falls on me to make those calls. If you disagree tell me why and if I think you make a good enough argument to convince me I'm wrong I'll change the rules.

I'm not making a judgment on you, I'm making the best call I know to make. The buck stops with me so I make the best calls I can. I know I can't please everyone I never will be able too. So I do my best and well the cards will fall where they will. If I've learned anything about running a site like this its no matter what you do, you will piss someone off. So I do my best and hope for the best. I'm not right all the time and I tell people to call me out when they think I am wrong and I encourage them to do so. I'm not mad you are calling out my choice I just disagree. So convince me I'm wrong. Or at least know I welcome the criticism.

Simple recommendation is to allow accounts to slowly accrue points as they age (reverse decay). Tying it to a set of mechanics reliant on activity is just as likely to cause people to post echo chamber content simply to get the required points as it is to create organic conversations.

That's all.

Like I've said you got a better idea?

Only the one I've already provided, which would be reverse-decay point accrual with some kind of minimum activity allowing Lurkers to participate without pressure to post things just for make-believe points.
