The "Don't Vote For Yourself" rule

[wyld_dandelyon]

You know, in elections and in many other votes, you are not prohibited from voting for yourself

Heh. Yes, I had the same thought - most of the people who might have voted for Torn World were ineligible, even if they weren't part of the core active group.

Not nominating yourself, I can understand. Not voting for yourself... I wouldn't mind seeing that rule dropped. Particularly if we go with open voting where you can vote for more than one project.

Good point about allowing voting for more than one project, which I definitely support.

Speaking as someone who had to scan through over 200 votes for the names of the creators to double-check and enforce this rule, I think it should go.

It was a real hassle.

I did not understand the logic behind this rule either.
