I agree. Let non-users vote, but make people sign in to add comments or post their own predictions. You can include some kind of measures to make sure someone doesn't vote more than once or twice.
- Oyinko 15y agoI know that making people sign in to vote is a lot of work for them. But, we need to track what people vote on Beansight to calculate their expertise on prediction. But maybe the possibility to vote on a prediction without sign-in could be a first step to make them connected to Beansight.
- acrum 15y agoYes, you could have them vote and then give them the opportunity to sign up. Store a cookie or something so they can only get one vote as an unregistered user. Of course, this could be hacked, but you could put in provisions to check for multiple votes from the same unregistered user's IP, etc.
- genystartup 15y agogood point. Make people log in to comment (and use that to judge expertise), but anyone can vote for whatever. The fact that I make a lucky guess about something that eventually happens, doesn't make me an expert. What the person says to back up predictions however is a real deciding factor.
