You can also now see who liked a comment. I was always iffy about adding in a likes system initially, but people wanted it. I also noticed people using it to snipe at iffy remarks towards people. Showing who likes a comment will hopefully bring it back to what it's meant for, if you really do just "like" or appreciate the comment.
I am going to roll out likes on articles soon too (maybe even today) so I can see what content people like more :)
If you wish to unlike everything for whatever reason, go here.
Has anyone said why they'd want their comment likes to be anything but anonymous though? I just can't think why you'd need to see who exactly liked a comment unless you're trying to sort people into "friends and enemies". Of course there must be less childish reasons for wanting this, but I just hope this doesn't promote cliques in the community. Maybe the names should be visible only to the one who wrote the comment? Are my worries unfounded?
Seeing who likes what can help bring people together, or help people see where differences are.
Finally, it's an entirely optional feature :)
Either way the new way is the way I wanted it originally but didn't have time and people who don't want it never have to use it.
However, how I interpret the reason why you implemented your "like disclosure" is you're trying to build a wall of shame (since you don't want to censor directly that comment) and consequently build clans between people. I'm not sure it's the better way to maintain cohesion within this small community.
