In the spirit of the Ancient Greek Agora, we invite you to join our vibrant community - a contemporary meeting place for the exchange of ideas, inspired by the practices of old. Just as the Agora served as the heart of public life in Ancient Athens, our platform is designed to be the epicenter of meaningful discussion and thought-provoking dialogue.

Here, you are encouraged to speak your mind, share your insights, and engage in stimulating discussions. This is your opportunity to shape and influence our collective journey, just like the free citizens of Athens who gathered at the Agora to make significant decisions that impacted their society.

You're not alone in your quest for knowledge and understanding. In this community, you'll find support from like-minded individuals who, like you, are eager to explore new perspectives, challenge their preconceptions, and grow intellectually.

Remember, every voice matters and your contribution can make a difference. We believe that through open dialogue, mutual respect, and a shared commitment to discovery, we can foster a community that embodies the democratic spirit of the Agora in our modern world.

Final vote: NO

Should probably use something that only allows 1 vote per IP address. I think strawpoll.com and livepoll.io can do that.

VPN voting is also not allowed with this poll. I personally use a VPN and will have to turn mine off to vote on this.

Doesn't using a VPN mask your IP address?

I think restricting votes to accounts whose cake days are from before the announcement of a vote's discussion thread should do it.

Got another idea: Remove accounts that only vote in !agora. The idea is we're trying to have a community here, right? So if ALL an account does is vote in the Agora and it posts nowhere else...ban that account.

Yes but a lot of VPNs use identifiable IP addresses.

This is a good idea but it wouldn't solve it on it's own.

Remove accounts that only vote in !agora.

This is also a good idea.
