    Here's the message I received from Vanilla. I replied that I hope they can reverse it back. I said that our community has no such hang ups about playful retaliation.

    Hey Derek,

    Users that negatively reacted to posts were always suppose to be hidden - them being revealed for a while was a bug that we recently patched. Only mods/admins should be able to see that information now. This allows users to anonymously flag posts/comments that they think are irrelevant or bad and prevents the original poster from retaliating against users that downvote them.

    So does Vanilla not have a control panel from which you, as the site owner, can turn such features on and off?

    While well intentioned, I also think this way of thinking is deeply flawed. I appreciate the transparency, and site admins should be able to determine what features are turned off.
