...and why do we even have a anonymous voting system that will become ever more useless as the number of idiots like me joining this site is increasing exponentially?
Seriously, I'd like to be able to see who down-voted me to be able to judge if it is just the author of the post/comment I replied to, a certain interest group like the utilitarian bunch, or someone who's judgement I actually value or is widely held to be valuable. After all there is a difference in whether it was XiXiDu or Eliezer Yudkowsky who down-voted you?
I'm not sure making voting public would improve voting quality (i.e. correlation between post quality and points earned), because it might give rise to more reticence to downvote, and more hostility between members who downvoted each others' posts.
