I noticed the recent thread about mascots, and trying to get accurate polling information. Don't consider this email to say I think we need safeguards against a poll on mascots (are people *really* trying to rig the election on this???), but I thought this might be a good features for Haskellers.com. Since we already have the "verified account" issue, we could use that to break down polls. More specifically, anyone would be allowed to vote, and then you could review results for verified users only, all logged in users, or theoretically even not-logged-in users (not sure how I feel about this one). If people would use this feature, I think I can add it next week. Michael
Well that was a quick response. I think it's silly the idea that someone
would cast more votes than one on an election for this, but I can't trust a
poll where someone can continually click yes or no over and over. I like
your idea.
