I just noticed we no longer see downvotes given to us unless we have VIP....

Really? A world of downvotes and reputation wrecking and it's okay with you all?
Is it really true "out of sight, out of mind"?

You'll still see the number of downvotes, just not the name of who downvoted you...

@HootyTheNightOwl "I don't like this (Downvote)
From May 27th: This reaction is invisible to users, except for the owners of the posts with VIP membership. (Past downvotes remain secret)"

@SW-User You don't have to like it... none of us do (in one way or another) - but we have to live with it.

One good thing is that it might decrease the overall activity of downvoters, since VIP's can hide their status - thus meaning that virtually anyone of us could be a "hidden VIP" who will know when they get downvoted.

@HootyTheNightOwl I don't like it and it won't matter after Monday for me. One VIP can overtake another by hiding. It's a shit show.
