This kind of sentiment is exactly why votes need to not be visible. As soon as the general expectation is that votes are public information free to be used and abused, it will be used and abused.

It exposes the troll and bot accounts that just downvote while having zero posts.

Admins and moderators can already take care of these sorts of problems.

Can moderators see vote identities? I moderate a few communities and have no idea where this feature is, if it exists.
