| Feb 14, 2017 at 9:55 | comment | added | Pierre.Vriens | 1 more addition: I'm talking about "downvotes" of "my" "answers". I'm not talking about upvotes, and also not about up or downvotes of question. | |
| Feb 14, 2017 at 9:49 | comment | added | avpaderno Mod | Sorry, but you aren't special. No user on Stack Exchange can know who voted a post. If that would be true, you would be able to list the users who voted an answer of yours, or tell me how much votes you got from a specific user in all your posts. Guessing is not knowing. You just check the activity of a user, and try guessing who voted, but that is not knowing. | |
| Feb 14, 2017 at 9:41 | comment | added | Pierre.Vriens | If that is the design, and (type of post = answer), then nobody does not apply to me anymore ... sorry. PS : challenge me to proof my claim ... Do you approve I post a comment below my most recent (anonymously) downvoted answer which includes the userid of the downvoter (so that you can go verify that comment by asking that user about it, without me knowing you did so)? | |
| Feb 14, 2017 at 9:15 | comment | added | avpaderno Mod | By design => The system is designed so that nobody can know who voted on specific posts, if the voters don't expressly say they did. | |
| Feb 14, 2017 at 9:07 | comment | added | Pierre.Vriens | IMO it depends what you call "by design" ... if the objective/goal is indeed like so, then there is a bug in the design regarding downvoted answers. And if it's not to be considered as a bug, then call it an undocumented (and handy) feature. | |
| Feb 14, 2017 at 8:56 | comment | added | avpaderno Mod | No, voting is anonymous by design. It doesn't matter if it is for questions or answers. | |
| Feb 14, 2017 at 8:01 | comment | added | Pierre.Vriens | I suggest you change "voting is anonymous by design" to "voting on questions is anonymous by design" ... | |
