If there is abuse from a mod or an admin, you go somewhere else - either join another similar community or server or make your own.

Or in the case of abuse from mods, report them to admins (assuming admins are reasonable).

Remember, this isn't reddit. You don't have to live with the mods or admins, you can just stop going to that instance/community and find somewhere else.

Also ultimately being able to view votes is a way to combat abuse, as you can spot people who just down vote someone else constantly.

EDIT: Honestly confused about the down votes, someone would care to elaborate? :)

Anyone with a federated instance can view your votes. Anyone on Kbin can view your votes. There's nothing "abusive" about viewing votes. It's not private information.

Edit: Example... I'm an admin on my own instance...

And yet here I can see the votes even though I'm not on your instance at all.

I fully agree with you. My comment was just to say what you should do if you see abuse from mods and admins.
