Possible other way to do ticker poll

[Pete Galati]

Geschrieben von: / Posted by: Pete Galati at 17 May 2000 05:55:25:
One of the first things that I noticed was that there was no way to vote for more than one program which I guess is ok, but I would have liked to see a way to be able to vote for my 1st, 2nd, and 3rd favorite Winboard engines.
I have no idea if there would have been a way to make that posible. But I'd suggest that maybe each person's vote be considered 100% of that person's vote, and of that 100%, 50% would go to that person's favorite program, then 30% would go to that persons second favorite program, and 20% would go to that person's 3rd favorite program.
Maybe that's not a good way to devide a vote though, maybe someone who understands statistics better has a better way to do that.

Hi Pete,
the idea is good but I can not adjust your suggestion
The service from this firm is not perfect.
You can vote more than 1x (
I try this for my favorite programs AnMon and Phalanx !
2 votes from me !
A vote with 20 or more answers is furthermore not possible (
Maximum are 10 answers !
I will search a better service !
Regards
Frank

Hi Pete,
I look under http://www.kostenlos.de (under Internet/Sonstiges) and found a better service for polls !!
Here I can adjust 25 questions !
Furthermore stand in the FAQ ...
(I got a lot of eMails with this question) !

Can a user vote more than once ?
Short answer:
By default no.
There are four blocking options to prevent users from voting more than once.
1) No Blocking - Users will be able to vote multiple times.
2) IP Blocking - Users with same IP address can not vote more than once.
3) Cookie Blocking - A cookie is set on the users computer when they first vote.
4) Cookie and IP Blocking.

Pete, I tryed 8 services but I can not found a service with your idea
But I think the new service which I use is the best of all !
Regards
Frank

I like this sevice better. Thanks. It would have let me select all of them, so I chose 4 favorites. It'll be interesting to see if the results are different in the first & second poll. Is there a way to restrict the amount of selections that a person makes in their vote? May be there shouldn't be any restriction to that.
