I support this, I want more developer stats so I can track my players and if they like my place or not.

Sure, sure, people are going to find out who thumbed 'em down and send bashful PMs to them, but let them do that! It'll be their own fault when they get a moderation action for doing that..

No support.

In theory this would be brilliant, but only in a mature community (which ROBLOX lacks to a degree). In reality, it would be used by some to harass others who have downvoted their game. Sure, you would have the developers who actually want feedback from them, but you'll also have the people who will simply harass, or even bully them into upvoting their game.

The only reason, in my opinion, that the current system works is due to its anonymity. Sure, it's abused SOMETIMES, but people aren't "scared" to leave a rating whereas if this change is made, and as I've said, you would have those who would harass and bully those who downvote their game. The same can be said for those who upvote a game, as what one users may find good another, less mature, user may not.

You would then also have a few of the richer users bribing users to upvote their game, when they've downvoted it and so on.

Data states some pretty good points.
It should stay anonymous, no support.

No support. Lets say you're a person on the first page right? You get hundreds of thumbs ups and thumbs down right?
That would just be more data roblox servers to hold up for what exactly? For you to go stalk the people who thumbed you down?

Yes, and if it stays anonymous you don't have the issue in the first place @Zeyad. And whilst, sure you can report them, unless they're being extremely verbal nothing will happen. You also have the issue of alternate accounts, PMs, etc. Again, sure, report them but there's no rule saying you can't send PMs.

@Zeyad,
People shouldn't have to reply on a report system, for something that can be entirely avoided in the first place.

You also have the issue that people would create programs to allow people to retrieve a list of people who have liked their game, and those who have disliked it (through using HttpService, etc). This would allow people to effectively bribe people into giving them a certain vote, as they would be able to target people (and block them from their game, or give them special items/currency for voting).

Knowing who does or doesn't like your place doesn't help the system - it just makes it worse.

Bump 2. This wouldn't be abused as much as you think it would, people with thousands of upvotes won't take the time to go after and harass the people who have disliked their game, although scripting a bribery system would be a problem. This should go on the test server, but it shouldn't be released for the site.
