Ok, well I don't want to make a new thread just for this, but I don't know of anywhere else. Ok, so.... In the public senate area, I was looking at a few polls, and I noticed that I could vote on them. So, I was thinking, couldn't, say, a non-Senate member, that is a candidate for a Senate position, vote for himself to balance the votes in his favor? I know it would be easy to find out if there are more votes than Senate seats, but this could easily be taken advantage of if one or more in the Senate didn't vote. I doubt I'm the first one to figure this out, but it came to my attention, so..... Is there a way to prevent this? |

No he's not, the way we can tell is that there are so many Senate members so there should be X amount of votes. |

Yeah, I know, but usually not every Senate member is able to vote right? (Btw thanks for moving this) |

Wait you're not accusing me are you? I could understand, because I'm tied, and even I thought I'd get destroyed, but I would never do that! |

I wasn't accusing you of anything! I was just saying it theoretically! I never mentioned your name or the position of RA! |

In the bill that made the public senate thing there was a article about this kinda thing and if you do vote/post or whatever in there as a non-senate member there are serious consequences |

As Secretary I also seem to potentially be able to do this. The actual status of the polls though are disputable, in the private forum the default was for senate members to always post their vote, for clarity and public record. I'm not sure why polls have started popping up... |

It seems Neas has given more than read only access to some groups, I knew I should have set this up myself (i'll go sort it now :P) |

The Senate traditionally only post votes rather than using polls. Its much more efficient and you get a record of who voted which way. I think that tradition should be maintained. |

yes, I remember from being in the senate, even on the rare cases when polls were used, people still stated that they voted and what they voted. I've been keeping an eye on that poll, 7 votes registered, only 3 senators' have declared that they have voted, plus Greek posted the poll so its pretty safe to assume he has voted... so where have the other 3 votes come from then? |

That was the one election going on at the time, and even I was shocked at how close I got. |

well, if there were 20 votes in the judes thing, then maybe we need to re-do that vote...
I would have to say from now on, don't do polls, only open ended voting, where you post your vote. |

Each member of the Senate had three votes each in the Judge vote and it was conducted before the Senate was public so theres no foul play there. The RA election needs another vote anyway as I'm turning down the position. |
