| Sep 26, 2018 at 11:32 | comment | added | Olin Lathrop | You guys consistently ignore the downside of anonymous downvotes, which is childish retribution and vandalism. I don't see that here on Photo.SE, but it's quite common on another stack I'm on. And no, I don't agree that this would lead to more arguments, but it would get rid of the "Why was this downvoted?" comments and add to a generally higher quality for the whole site. If someone isn't willing to stand up and put their name behind a statement that something is wrong, then it's hard to take the statement seriously. The system shouldn't either. | |
