No.
People who want non-anonymous voting in any arena are always those who seeks to control the outcome. If you cannot handle the critics and the trolls then do not put yourself out there for them to come at you... this is not complicated stuff.

I disagree with that generalised statement completely.
Some do, some don't. Read the comments of others.

I defy you to provide one motivation which does not align with my statement.

I would suggest two separate voting systems: one anonymous, fast, without any comments, and a more complete option, like a review, with the score plus suggestions/criticism.

Perhaps there's a new category.
What's called up/down votes today becomes something more like opinions, which are public and must be backed up with some explanatory text. (Maybe only for downs, what didn't you like?).
Then, a simple like/dislike category for those who have only a nebulous feeling, or don't want to get into the muck of the why they feel some way.
That might give an overall measure of popularity, plus some details for those who are inclined to provide them.

How about a different option?
Leave voting anonymous but require a reason to be given when down voting.
|

Would it be fine to have an option of a small check box to let the voter select if s/he wants to show the name or not

Sad to see how firmly the fascist mind-set is entrenched in the minds of our "smart young men".
Have you ever wondered why "real" votes are anonymous?
Have you pondered the fate of Brendan Eich?
Note: "Debate" is where people argue an idea back and forth - "posting" and "commenting" in this context.
"Voting" is what people do when they want to signal their approval, or not, of something.
"Voting" is generally considered to be a "Yes/No" action.
Only a fascist believes that it is reasonable, or even possible, to browbeat someone into changing their vote.

I don't get it. 
There are only 10 types of people in the world, those who understand binary and those who don't.

Nope, sorry. There are only 2 types of people.
There are two types of people in this world: those that pronounce GIF with a soft G, and those who do not deserve to speak words, ever.

So many people rave about RichCopy, and I used to, but haven't used it for years. Now I'm moving serious GBs to my new external drive, and started using it again. It has a multi-thread option, where you can set the numbers of threads for directory search, directory copy, and file copy. I set the file copy threads to five, and it couldn't copy anything, because as soon as the first thread started copying a file, it locks it, and then another thread tries the same file, and the copy fails because the file is in use.
What does it take to record which file a thread starts copying, and block other threads from that file? This is high school level programming.

I just stick to ROBOCOPY through Windows PowerShell...you can set the number of threads with a switch option among other settings like resume, etc...it's worth getting to know.

RichCopy is RoboCopy, just re-released. I have found a happier way, where I set the directory copy threads to 5 and file copy to 1, then I don't get locks, and I get a reliable copy. The file lock thing is still stupid as hell.

I thought RICHCOPY was a GUI for ROBOCOPY?...ROBOCOPY[^] is a command line utility.

OK, I stand corrected.
