Now that we can even like specific comments, how should those likes be handled? Should we see a list on each comment of who liked what comment/thread? Should we see a number of how many likes are on a given comment/thread? If the dislikes outweigh the likes, should that number be negative or should it stay at zero until it becomes positive again? Should we keep the same system we have now of not seeing any of it? If so, why? Do you have another idea for how it should work? If so, what is it?

The thing i dislike is that if someone likes my post, it doesn't tell me who liked it. It just gives me their avatar, which doesn't help much. I'd be fine with just getting a name in the notifications. I have a feeling that liked being visible could potentially cause the same issues as polls killing threads. If someone can leave a mark on a thread without posting they will (because deep down we're all lazy bastards) and threads would deteriorate into a pile of likes and votes with no replies.
