Revealing voting patterns - new trend?

I have to sub-questions:

  • Can I see -1 reputation in downvoter's reputation tab when he downvoted my answer/question?
  • Can I see -1 reputation in downvoter's reputation tab when he downvoted foreign answer/question?

I think we can't, because everybody says that voting is anonymous

You can see the downvotes but you can't see who cast the downvotes.

Earlier, there was a discussion on this and how this could be used to find out how has (down)voted whom, but has been fixed since.

Some later time, a bug could reveal downvotes when the reputation report pre-expanded some details. Even then it was not possible to be sure who cast the downvotes, but in the example below, given the total of reputation change of +9, and two received upvotes yielding +10, one could see you downvoted some answer. But not which answer:

This has been fixed too.

  • @Arjan: it does, ( I received 10 without downvote, so Sathya see that I downvoted but he CAN't be sure if it was to my answer)

  • I think showing the total of 9 rather than 10, is a bug, given Nick's statement will not see any indication of downvotes, either in the detailed list or in the day totals.

  • It seems this has been fixed, @genesis: my reputation as I see it is 1 less than what is publicly visible.

    Commented Aug 3, 2011 at 15:24
  • @Arjan: so it means nobody know that you downvoted?

  • @genesis, indeed, unless someone keeps track of your total reputation score. (On the other hand: there's no confirmation that the screenshot in Sathya's answer was a temporary glitch or bug, nor that is has been fixed. Maybe one can never be sure others cannot tell some day...)
