Thanks. I had vaguely heard of Voat before, but for some reason thought it was a script for self-hosted Reddit style sites.<p>dang, I assume you meant stop bickering, but if you absolutely mean no more posts, sorry for this. It will probably be the last anyway.<p>I&#x27;m just curious, since you (ferrari) and anyone else still reading this have more knowledge or experience about this, has any site, or even HN, ever tried making the usernames people who upvote and downvote publicly visible?<p>I think people would put more thought into what they up or (especially) downvote if they could not &#x27;hide&#x27;, and their usernames were attached to it. Likewise, if voting had a &#x27;cost&#x27;, say, 1 karma to upvote and 1 or 2 karma to downvote.
