    Is generally a good idea - but are you sure you want to list who up / down voted a particular message?

    IIRC, CP V1.0 had this as well, but the attribution part was removed because it caused problems and "drive by retaliation" by some "injured" parties!

      *1

      This has historically been a problem on CodeProject, and is the reason attribution wasn't used on votes on the legacy site. The primary problem is that people get offended and go on a down-voting rampage in the articles section, which can unjustly drive an article's apparent value into the gutter.
