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.

What if 300 students sharing an IP from the same dorm want to vote, should 299 of them be ignored?

No they shouldn't, but without any restrictions 1 individual with 300 bot accounts and VPNs can vote as many times as those 300 students.

I doubt a single person would have 300 bots using a single ip address so the measure would be pretty useless anyway. I think restraining votes to a single IP address would not do much good and quite the contrary actually as I see no cases where it would be worthwhile.

Listen: MOST userspace IPs are dynamic, this means that it can change over time, and most likely rebooting the router will do the trick. It's because amount of IPv4 adresses is very limited.
