Generally speaking, you shouldn't do anything on the internet that you absolutely don't want to become public. If you don't want people to know your votes, don't vote.

MODERATORS
I can't read Chinese, so I'm not sure what good seeing their names would be. A downvote is a downvote.
They basically already are, if you run an instance. Might as well make it easier.
I vote for public votes. Your comments, history and activity is already public, what can you gain from "hidden" votes as much as privacy?
