Poll question: How do you feel about the Mods being able to see how you vote in polls?

1. They own this site.
You have to expect that they have access to everything you do and say here. We have no right to privacy here. :shrug:

4. I don't think how I vote is anyone's business.
I think it's an invasion of privacy.

I never knew they were watching and judging our votes.

It's kind of creepy.

6. It happens on every website. They are the owners...they can track what they want.
They can read your PM's, too.

I trust them to be fair. That's why I donate every fund drive. I trust these people.

8. My dear Beausoir...
To be perfectly accurate, the Admins only read PM's that have been alerted on...

They don't read them otherwise...

I also trust them to be fair!

7. My dear Solon...
I voted other: It's fine with me BUT....

The mods can't see poll results...

Only the Administrators can see the poll results...

Just so you know...;-)

9. Other (but okay with it): it's a tool they won't utilize unless they have to.
I don't care if they can see who votes in what because, well, I don't. But if I did, I would remember that it's an excellent potential troll-removal device. The trolls who got busted for voting in That Poll the other day had been polluting this site for a long time. They stupidly gave the admins the impetus they needed to eject their slimy asses. And good on the mods, I say.

10. Don't care.
They see all the other manure I leave all over this place. Might as well see how I vote in polls.

I've got much respect for the mods, and I think that if I'm going to be a total dick in a poll, they should be able to take that into consideration in deleting a post or giving me a warning if warranted.

13. Voted Other for lack of an Awesome option.
Think you're gonna get away with voting Ron Paul over Obama or Clinton? I don't think so!

20. I think it's also my site...I pay dues !
Edited on Thu Jan-24-08 01:04 AM by Breeze54
Doesn't that count for anything? :shrug:

I get to pay but have no say as far as my PM's and how I vote in a dumb poll?

How is that fair? :shrug:

Those PEVS! Better check the bedroom for hidden cameras, though now I think I'm motivated enough to actually volunteer as a Mod. :evilgrin:
