A debate: making votes non-anonymous

People who want non-anonymous voting in any arena are always those who seeks to control the outcome
I disagree with that generalised statement completely. Some do, some don't. Read the comments of others.

I defy you to provide one motivation which does not align with my statement.

Could you pin this post as the first Lounge post until the debate is closed (= until you think there is enough matter for you to decide) ? I think it would help for the visibility of the discussion.
I've got the feedback I needed - it was perfect. I'm refining now.

:-D I am glad you could derive something out of this overall white noise :rolleyes:

When someone upvotes a message or article I wrote it's nice seeing who it was how voted. Really nice. Conversely when someone downvotes you there's often a "who on Earth would downvote that?" We've talked about this a lot and so I bring this up as something that's already been brought up, but times change as do opinions. So onto the debate: Whereas knowing your admirers and foes brings either a warm fuzzy feeling or concrete contact to discuss improvements, be it resolved that showing names next to votes is a Good Thing. Those debating for the motion please state their case, and those debating against provide their counter-arguments.

Sad to see how firmly the fascist mind-set is entrenched in the minds of our "smart young men". Have you ever wondered why "real" votes are anonymous? Have you pondered the fate of Brendan Eich? Note: "Debate" is where people argue an idea back and forth - "posting" and "commenting" in this context. "Voting" is what people do when they want to signal their approval, or not, of something. "Voting" is generally considered to be a "Yes/No" action. Only a fascist believes that it is reasonable, or even possible, to browbeat someone into changing their vote.
