So we've seen this talked about this a few times since downvotes on posts became public for users over level 6. The goal of making them public for posts was to prevent brigading and it has been pretty effective. A few users didn't like it and left. I think some of those people came back under new names. So the question is, should we do the same for comments, IE add a comment details button something similar that allows users over level 6 to see who downvoted their comments. We are looking forward to what the community thinks.

In the name of preventing brigading you're encouraging it.

You clearly don't know how poal works, or you wouldn't say that.

Post downvotes are visible to level6+ users since last year, and no brigading ensued besides from a few trolls who tried and failed.

And you can back this up I assume? What purpose other than retaliation would that serve? Reddit too said they were combatting brigading when they hid the scores. We all saw the outcome of that one.

The downvote button is not considered as a "I disagree" button.
