Probably better to post in the github issue rather than replying here.

True, anybody can become an admin, but most people won’t. I think that a slight barrier to viewing vote identities is a good thing, and reducing that barrier to zero would result in more harrasment and unproductive discussion.

I still think it’s just unfair. You can lookup votes and harass people only IF you know enough about computers. Anybody persistent enough to harass other people will put a little bit of work into being able to look up votes.

In addition, as we can see, this “semi-privacy” confuses a lot of people. Better that all users KNOW that their votes are visible, instead of them thinking they are private.
