pollcode com & select 'one vote per year/month' to give every person just one vote... Seems like a good way of making the poll totally anon.

Hii! Thank you for your suggestion, it seems fantastic and we're probably using it. One thing, though, do you know if/how that site keeps people from voting more than once, or if there are any easy hacks? It's my only concern.

[margerydaw_s2]

I think the answer is already in the comment, Cece?

When they say to make it one vote per year/month.

[mm3butterfly]

yup, but there are sites that enable you to vote again if you erase cookies or things like that. :(( #beentheredonethat

[margerydaw_s2]

Oh, yeah, that should be looked into :/

Just tried it with a poll I voted in last night, my vote wasn't counted the second time :)

[margerydaw_s2]

Sounds like the best option!

[mm3butterfly]

This is great, thanks!! :D

Yep, I found pollcode (dot) com last night while the discussion was going on in the mod post, and I think that is the best and safest option.

Here's what the pollcode admins have to say about the "can people vote more than once" issue:

Q: What do you do to try and stop people from cheating in my poll?

A: When you create your poll, you can choose whether you would like to allow one vote per day, week, month or year. We use multiple methods, including cookies and IP address data to try to allow one vote per user. Although there is no perfect method available on the Internet, we believe ours is among the best.

I found that site too when you guys suggested a poll, this morning, I just had no idea how to make it work, so thank you for clarifying on how to make it truly fair! :)

[innocent_lexys]

Thank you for your recommendation, we will be using it. :)
