Why is anonymous voting a thing on NamePros?
First of all it limits actual engagement.
There are already multiple ways to engage. People can comment, click thanks, like, dislike, agree, or disagree.
Secondly, there seems to be an army of trolls going around leaving anonymous downvotes on comment after comment. This seems to be far more of an issue on some topics than others.
The anonymity seems to encourage bad behavior by some.
Also, I would love to see more information on the voting itself. I know the amount of votes you can make scales based on various factors. Do you have any more information on that?
I tend to limit the amount of upvotes I make as it skews the system.
I hardly ever downvote. I would prefer to leave a comment and/or dislike or disagree with the comment.
I think NamePros really needs to think about this anonymous voting system.
It brings far more negative than positive IMO.
