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.

Nobody ever downvotes on Poal, its an honour thing. Downvoting is for spam, says so on the welcome page i think. I can't help thinking this is in preparation of the Voat migration.

It is dealing with a previous migration at best. At worst its preparation for another.

While I agree with the concept and I agree it mitigates a known problem, I do worry that at some point someone will be faced in a court with not only their public Facebook and such but also the comments they posted in the safety of anonymity and now also the list of things they up and down voted. This I fear will be used in a cherry picking way to paint someone however the prosecutor wishes to frame them.

Instead of a warrant canary, what about a dead mans switch for you? If you don’t actively reset it in a timely manner, it securely deletes all comment attribution and voting databases.

The site will remain, but in an anonymous state for all previous comments.
