[Haskell-cafe] Haskellers in Nashville,TN
Anyone here from the Nashville, TN area? t would be nice to meet regularly with others to discuss and work with Haskell. Also, this group is now available: www.meetup.com/The-Haskell-Study-Group/ If you want to participate remotely, that works too, I'm just looking for others to meet with regularly. -- Heath Matlock +1 256 274 4225 ___ Haskell-Cafe mailing list Haskell-Cafe@haskell.org http://www.haskell.org/mailman/listinfo/haskell-cafe

I closed the poll, it's showing 51% no and 50% yes, 129 to 128 respectively. I also found out you can vote as many times as you want without restriction, with no IP logging whatsoever. This is why I don't like putting polls on places where users regularly use anonymity for their own agendas, e.g. Reddit, which is when it seems most of the votes came from. From the public email poll, there were 4 no votes and 8 yes votes, and from the original thread on a mascot, there were about 15 people liking the idea of a mascot, and less than half of this openly saying against the idea. I would say the next step might be create a poll using polldaddy, but even filtering IP addresses wouldn't stop people from using a workaround with Tor. With email, you can see how many people are registering and immediately voting.

Re: [Haskell-cafe] Polls on Haskellers.com
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. On Thu, Nov 24, 2011 at 12:05 AM, Michael Snoyman mich...@snoyman.comwrote: 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).
