Show list of users that flag Off Topic & Dislike

smayer97

Just like you can see a list of who Liked or LOL a post, please show the same list for Off Topic & Dislike.

Also... I can see who added Likes, but not Dislikes. I want to see who disliked posts.

Why?  It's fairly easy to figure out who is doing it when the only person on a thread besides the OP is a SuperUser.

Disagree.  We see posts marked as Dislike weeks or even years after the OP.

I call such a "drive-by shooting".

Again, we know that this functionality does not exist currently. How is marking this idea as not planned based on it not being available make sense? The whole "idea" of this Idea is to pass on the request to Vanilla to look into addressing this issue. Please clarify.

@smayer97 Your title "idea" is "Show list of users that flag Off Topic & Dislike"

There is no way they would implement that, and it has nothing to do with whether is it technically possible or not.

The last thing they want is for you know who "reported" you.  They don't want "reprisals" or other negative impacts on people that disagree with what you posted.

Yeah, I know the human side says that would like to know who is accusing us of something, but it really isn't a good idea to have a "report the bad guy" system that announces to the world who they are.

BTW I fully expect that the moderators can see this list.  They just don't want the users seeing it.

I have no issues if that is the position that Quicken takes on that BUT that is NOT the reason that is listed for not pursuing it.

And yes, I know for a fact that the moderators can see the list.

Yeah, that sounds like the "politically correct" answer.

smayer97

What would be politically incorrect for them to say what you said? There would be nothing wrong in stating they want that info to stay private, if that is indeed their reason.

The strange thing is they have posted the same answer for several ideas today, none with the potential for being interpreted as "politically incorrect". So it makes the communication unclear.

A reply of "we are not considering putting forward the idea because the functionality is not there" makes no sense without further explanation since that is the whole point of an idea post...to request functionality that is not there.
