So @AOU and I have been talking and he just came up with an idea. We have been discussing it for a few minutes today and we thought we would share it with you guys and get your input. 1. A page where you can see a list of the downvotes on your posts and another for comments (Level 6 and up) 2. A page where you can see a list of all downvotes that have been cast on the site (Red Barons and up) So let us know what you think.

So let us know what you think.

Idea 1 & 2 are good
Idea 1 & 2 are bad
Idea 1 is good & idea 2 is bad
Idea 1 is bad & idea 2 is good
Fuck You!

Its not that I don't want downvotes, I want people who use them to be accountable.

If I downvote, god damn I still want to spell it voat, I dont care who knows. Dont do it much but will own it. I think its a bad idea to let everyone know who downvoats votes though. Just gonna stir shit up. I think in the past I was for knowing who downvoted. Now maybe not so much.

I show that I have down votes given over the number that I know that I have personally given. Meaning, more than likely, I've fat fingered giving a few people a down vote by accident. I don't even have a way to see what you have saved on my own activity yet you're asking if others should have access to before I do.

Think about what data you have and who should really have access to it.

Also the who should have access was kind of the point of questions lol.

Well that was another idea we had kind of been playing with, also if it was just a fat finger downvote and someone pointed it out you’d at least know about it.

Stackoverflow substracts downvotes from your own reputation.

We have talked about a concept like this many times.

It just seems passive aggressive. I'm with on this one.

Also I think I get it better than my last response the reason we ask the community when we have ideas is to get input. It would be stupid to think we can come up with all the best ideas without any input whatsoever I don’t think any single person could anticipate everything that could go wrong with anything on their own.

Lol are you saying fuck you?

Nah I didn't mean that at all. I'm saying the parallel of "If you want 37 pieces of flair then make the minimum 37 pieces of flair".

By the way that's a good movie if you haven't seen it. They nailed what it's like to work in an Engineering office.
