Displaying Likes on comments and threads
Now that we can even like specific comments, how should those likes be handled? Should we see a list on each comment of who liked what comment/thread? Should we see a number of how many likes are on a given comment/thread? If the dislikes outweigh the likes, should that number be negative or should it stay at zero until it becomes positive again? Should we keep the same system we have now of not seeing any of it? If so, why? Do you have another idea for how it should work? If so, what is it?

2 RepliesI think showing the number of likes would be cool but not necessarily the names. I can understand why they may not want to show the numbers of likes (or dislikes for that matter). Think about it. If one sees something with a handful of likes (or dislikes), they may be more inclined to "pile on" and vote with the mob mentality. I can personally say that sometimes I've seen comments on Reddit where I'll upvote or downvote only to undo my action because I caught myself just piling on. It's not inherently a bad thing; I'm just pointing out why it may not be the best idea. Also, I know you didn't mention dislikes, Z, I just thought it was worth including them for discussion's sake.
