Should polls be able to be voted on by "guests"?

[Darren]

Easy - should I give "guests" the ability to vote on polls or keep it only for registered users?

[Flamethrower]

Could it be set as a choice for the poll poster??
That way it could be turned on or off like public (show names) or private polls.

[Darren]

Not as it stands, but I may be able to get TLH or Burgs to help me make some code modifications so I can do that...

[Em-Forcer]

Is there any way of changing it depending on the poll? (kind of what FT said - I was busy typing while he posted!)
General canvassing of opinion - keep it open, it's a good idea to give guests something to feel involved in - they might end up joining;
Something which has real importance, like player of the year, or which might result in a change to the site - registered users only.
Does this sound reasonable?

Hell no! , let the lazy bastards take the 30 seconds to register if they want their voice heard.

Burgs is too busy so get on it TLH, earn you keep for a change!

Why call them Guests if you don't give them stuff? Let them vote! Or change their name to 'ghosts' or 'spirits' or 'forces' or 'those other guys'.

I hate to say it, but I agree with the seppo.
If they want to have a say then take the effort to sign up.
There some options that TLH or I could build for you Coach to offer a choice that is different but if a case of yes or no then it is no for me.

We get soooo many guests - it would be interesting to get their opinion on the news of the day - most sites do this - hook them and reel them in

[slomo]

let the guests, convert in to members it only takes a few seconds, then they can enjoy the benefits of full membership......like loosing all their v cash in the TWF casino....

[frontrow]

At first i thought no way, sign up for the right to voice your opinion, but i am warming to the idea of allowing a vote on selected issues, if it can be arranged...

[Flamethrower]

As Ghosts can't vote on GTT I think it would be wrong for us to be so open minded and welcoming

[frontrow]

If GTT ran in front of a bus, would we???


(Sorry. couldn't help repeating what me old mum used to say...)

It's about time that you see the light!

I can't wait to see the code that you and TLH build!

They other problem with letting a guest vote is this:

A Pom or Tahs fan could vote under their name, than sign out and vote again under a guest. We would never have a true number. Renee may even of lost her championship, it's just would not be fair.

We don't get guests, we get Slurp Spiders!!!!
