How to tell who gave you thumbs down in yahoo answers?

No you can't tell for certain, but sometimes you will see everyone else has one and if there is someone with out a thumbs down the chances are its him/her.

There really isn't any way of knowing who gave a thumbs down. I would think it would because, if we did know, there's the chance that the person would retaliate. Just a guess/opinion. It gives the person an anonymous response. If you gave a thumbs down to an answer, would you want the person to know that it was you?? It's a protective measure.

I don't know of any way of tracing these people & I've been here 10 months & spent time in Forum. Most of these fools are trolls who spend a lot of time cruising & giving lots of thumbs down. I've had 6 on a reasonable answer.

That's a really good question.

There's really no way to know for 100% sure.

Chances are that it would be somebody that posted after you did, disagreed with you, and they themselves have no thumbs down.

That happens to me too. I get confused why some people actually do it. Either they hate you or your answer

can't find out for sure but it was probably a troll

There's no way to tell. I'd let you know if I did it.

i dont think you can
