He developed this feature on a test instance of poal and I saw it and really liked the concept. I think it would really help with the brigading problems poal has been having.

It doesn't make voting habits viewable on a per account basis just on a post basis so it would take a lot of work to compile someones voting habits.

So please let us know what you think, is this something you guys think would do some good for the site? I know it would probably at times make people more hesitant to downvote but it also would make brigadiers more hesitant to act.

First off, I'm not a fan of making votes public, but this is a better way to do it.

For consideration - making this "feature" only available until our incel friends move on, making it visible only to admins / moderators of the sub. Why? This will cut both ways as the incels will then know who is downvoting them and can more easily target specific users, so limiting it would limit their visibility unless they are mods.

You've got a good point, but we could also make this feature visible only to accounts with a certain level.

It won't prevent them from creating a fake friendly account to reach the required level though.

Yeah exactly. Then they create /s/levelmeup and go there to level up each other's accounts.

Anything related to gaming votes in the intent to brigade and hurt the community will be handled.

That includes alt accounts and subs devoted to gaming accounts' level and brigading.

you make a good point. I think you are on to something. What do you think about level restrictions on the feature?

I think any system can be gamed. It is more like home security. Doesn't actually stop break ins. Just makes it a pain in the ass so it is easier to go to an unsecured house. Make it so much work to game it that it is not worth it.

Make it so much work to game it that it is not worth it.

That's why making this feature available only after an account has reached a certain level will make it harder for the trolls to access it.

Also preventing new accounts from accessing this feature doesn't take away their rights for free speech.
