How long did that take you? Why? Who hurt you? Was it me?

    I had this happen on 3 consecutive Mental Health Support posts. I wondered if it could be a bot? Or one jerky person who wants posts pushed down so theirs go up?

    It might be a good thing if upvotes/downvotes were public… e.g. hover over arrow to view.

    Might also prompt people to add a comment around why they agree or disagree if their id was associated with an action.

      Reddit found that this makes it easy for bots to spam votes – you can’t shadowban them as effectively.

      Reddit also has some method for metering votes you make directly from a user’s profile. You have to click on the post/comment to actually vote on it.
