No, and I think it should stay that way. Voting itself is already a necessary evil, if it could be used for witchhunting that would be arguably worse.
I agree. The psychological damage from chasing likes is even more extreme on twitter and FB than it is on reddit, because of the desire to want specific people to like your posted content.
I can't see any positive about transparent votes.
But that's not the point of a voting system. Voting should represent the opinion of the userbase, not be used to select out people who downvoted as troublemakers.
