Should vote-to-dimiss remain anonymous?

It's already explained why they don't show names when vote kick is brought up; whether or not the kicking is legit or abused, internet drama ensues the minute you start pointing fingers for anything and that is something Square wants to avoid for their sanity and the sanity of the community.


Showing names would not make people more reluctant to start a kick, false or not, because since every instance is cross sever, people know that they can just do whatever they want since they can't be followed. Failed votes when showing who started the vote would just cause more drama unless you decided to keep the kickee from knowing they're being dismissed as it is right now. Names are hidden to reduce the drama and if anyone is going to report someone for abuse of the votes, they'll just write up the whole party regardless because everyone had to have agreed in the first place.

And that doesn't have to be true since there can also be people who refused but it was not enough. And you can be sure that there are many people you would no longer dare to abuse the vote kick if they did know that they could risk to be banned for some time. Right now people abuse it because they know that those that got kicked won't know who it did. Also if someone gets harrassed because he tried to kick someone he can just blacklist him. Don't care that you can't blacklist cross server because if the vote kick fails and you get harrassed you can just try again with the reason of harrasment. If that still doesn't work you can just leave and you will have your peace.
