Recently I found that I can in fact see the votes behind the scenes. I was unaware of that feature before. The voters won't be made public in this poll. Maybe we should have a poll to see if the poll should be anonymous?
My personal feeling has always been that we shouldn't allow anonymity but the rules allow for it in non-controversial or non-opinionated threads/posts. If we DON'T allow any anonymity some folks might not post, which would be a shame. As already mentioned I do have everyone's contact info as part of the registration process. We have already seen that be a big help on a few occasions (Bond73). And I am not naive enough to think that process is foolproof either...but it's a heck of a lot better than before AND if I find any foul play I can boot the person registering.....regards
