# We're testing a new version of the vote mechanism
which requires you to be logged into to B3ta to vote. Give it a go.

Who should be the next PM?

# Yup.
One Skotzmun, one vote, and a surprisingly polite message telling me I couldn't vote again. :-)

# it's the rule of mr splashy pants
stick something facetious in a poll and it'll storm it

(although this rule can occasionally be reversed by pointing it out)

# it's a plot!
the poll site has to ping b3ta to make sure you're logged in - I'll ask Nick if maybe it can ping a series of places b3ta.com jelly.b3ta.com our IP etc. That might make sense?

but there's plenty of multiple accounts
(I helped save b3ta! CanonCaliber A big bore, Mon 14 Nov 2011, 14:20, archived)
# They would indeed be able to do this
But, if anyone bothers to do this it'd be painfully obvious from my end who they are, b3ta account-wise, and easy to block their, and all their sub-accounts, from voting.

I might implement a naughty box page to name and shame anyone going to the effort of rigging polls on b3ta...
(I helped save b3ta! palmr The speaking clock says:, Mon 14 Nov 2011, 15:25, archived)
# Ah now, that's a good idea
In the naughty box already: Mu

Could you also have a naughty box for comedy accounts? Donate a fiver and you get access to it for six months or a year? That way anyone who actually wants to know who's who on B3ta can find out and B3ta wins.

am I supposed to rig the compo vote now?


Also: make it open in a new window, there's a good chap. It's too easy* to forget and close the window after the vote, therefore having to open a tab again to get back to b3ta.


*too easy for me, who's often pissed.
