I bet it would be fairly easy to match comments with upvotes/downvotes and get a pretty good idea of who's 'anonymous' accounts are pretty quickly.
I rarely down vote, but when I do, I don't leave a comment. I can't be the only one.
Yeah but I bet you upvote or downvote other comments in the thread around the same time you make comments.
That activity would make an educated guess pretty easy.
Interesting. It would probably also depend on the number of other people downvoting and commenting. Also this assumes that someone consistently downvotes and comments on one post.
Fundamentally obsessing about votes and building a community based on votes will corrupt the whole system. We've been here before
