    Pseudonymous voting doesn’t mean a unique ID for every vote. It just means the user string itself is tokenized. You can still ban participation for that token without revealing the actual user. Literally the only thing this stops is easily seeing users who use the same name across several instances.

      If the token is the same for the user across different posts, it would be easy to figure out who is actually behind the token by correlating voting patterns.

        It would at least provide a means for obfuscating identity for users who care to make an effort. All you’d have to do is not vote when you comment and vice versa.
