As I said, I’ve not seen a decent argument against the OP. You are a classic example of the reasoning in my precious post.
First, the feature is simply a code-copy of the 'like' feature common to many social networking sites.
Second, many posters wish to express something analogous to "hear, hear" or "bollocks!" without having to type out a detailed message of support or a rebuttal. Moreover, in some cases, the original post needs no further detail, any additional text would merely detract from its effect; a gesture of approval or disapproval is entirely sufficient. Anonymous TU or TD is perfectly suited to this purpose.
Third, anyone who wishes it known that he gave a TD or TU to a post can simply do what Rajk999 did and say so in another post. However, if everyone were to do so, it would clutter up threads with thousands of lines of redundant text; anonymous TU or TD expresses just what many posters want to express without clutter.
Fourth, the proposal would not add accountability. No one here is accountable anyway.
So, for the twenty-first time, can we drop this?

It wouldn’t need policing, people want to hide for a reason. Suzianne is the worst offender, she often turns up in a thread, takes a swipe at her detractors, thumbs all of their posts down irrespective of the content, thumbs up all the posts of the person she “likes and then disappears.
All this rhetoric from her about people being to scared to speak out is a smoke-screen. It’s interesting to observe.

Obviously the site admin can look at the clicks if they had sufficient time to waste.

So have an 'anonymous' thumb that adds to the count (up or down) and another 'I endorse this message' thumb that lists you if you agree / disagree (depending on thumb direction)
When thumbing you could have a check box that opts in to adding your handle to the list. - thumb count might be 5, but you'd only see 2 or 3 names - only the ones who had ticked the box.
Those that want anonymity retain it ... those that feel strongly enough to publicly state the thumbiness (yes, that's a word - or is now) of whatever - get to state it - without having to resort to those inane posts that only state "Yeah - I thumbed that up/down!!*"
The non-anonymous thumb (for me) weighs heavier than the anonymous one.
I'd also like the recommended pages to sort by forum - what do I care who gives a flying what in the whatever forum? But that's probably another site idea ....

Originally posted by @dj2beckerHe never claimed to be. Why have you appeared in this thread simply to misunderstand everything?!
Are you site admin?
1. Currently, thumbs up or down are anonymous to all site users. - Fact.
2. Admin (which no one here has claimed to be) are exceptions to the above, by virtue of being admin. (We assume).
