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!

I still believe votes should be anonymous.

That is fine, and I agree upvotes should be.

When Gab had down voting, it would cost you one karma point to downvote someone and I believe you only were allowed 10 downvotes per hour. Having a cost to downvoting makes people more responsible with the downvote button.

I'm honestly not against this idea. I've argued against it in the past but its not the worst idea.

Gab had downvoting?

So were they once a news aggregator or always a microblog platform?

I wouldn't mind public upvotes.

Would make vote farming hard.

(I am cool with public downvotes too of course)

Public upvotes I spent A LOT of time thinking about early on in the site they were public for about a day or so but I decided I didn't want to discourage people from upvoting unpopular ideas.
