Tips on using this forum..

(1) Explain your problem, don't simply post "This isn't working". What were you doing when you faced the problem? What have you tried to resolve - did you look for a solution using "Search" ? Has it happened just once or several times?

(2) It's also good to get feedback when a solution is found, return to the original post to explain how it was resolved so that more people can also use the results.

Dear Moderator & Planners

Has anybody noticed that we can do voting again and again at the voting link for the same item and can thus affect the percentage thus giving a false picture. I found it accidently by voting for an item 2 times. This shows that any person can do voting as many times he likes and hence can change the voting percentage.

Can i suggest that the voting to be done only by the registered users and not any guest, and also to be restricted for one time only. Meaning if we have voted an item once, we should not be able to vote it again for the same item.

Hope Moderator can look into this on how to improve.

I guess we are very much self regulated in here. As a planner I believe that there is not system is fault proved. Like asking your engineers for % complete...

Don’t worry about the 1 in a 1000 error since it is not critical.
