Forum bug(?): A hidden mechanism causing anyone can view whoever disagrees forum's post

Just as the title said. As some members of this forum have pointed out, there are some sort of mechanisms in some browsers (not in mobile, though) that allow users view other users who are disagreeing with the posts.
@NianticGiffard can you please take a look at this? Especially after you stated that you've made some changes related to likes/disagrees/insightful in another thread?
Note for others: please DO NOT bring another drama into this. Just state some facts as necessary.

There is a link that is built-in to the Vanilla Forums' system to check the users for reactions. I think it was connected to a user profile, before people found out that you could copy that same link and actually look at a certain comment ID's disagrees. A couple of months ago, someone posted it publicly and it really took wind, so a lot of people have it saved before a Niantic mod deleted it.
Other than that, it's probably just people being creative with scripts and links.
Thanks for sharing this, @patsufredo-PGO!
As I had commented recently, the ability to check Like/ Disagree/ Insightful for a post was indeed deactivated. The post where SturmRuger shared screenshots of people able to check who disagreed with their post was most likely taken before we have made the changes.
I would also like you to check the comment made by me in the same thread where I had put up my viewpoint on this topic.
There is another possibility to view who reacted on your posts.
However, you need to use a special URL for that.
@NianticGiffard please read through this thread below, some users are hinting about the 'mechanism':
And please close that thread down.
@NianticGiffard sorry, but I have to bump this again.
As @LukeAllStars-ING said there is a special URL that allows anyone to see whoever react to their posts. Now it looks like some users are abusing this again. Can you please check this one?
I have followed up with @LukeAllStars-ING via DM to check up on this matter.
There's no need to use DM, the "hidden mechanism" was clearly explained in a recent thread that you closed.
