Poll: Replying "Thanks" (etc.) in Contest Threads
Should users be allowed to reply "thanks" or "good luck" or "entered" (or similar) simply for the purpose of marking whether or not they've viewed the contest post?
Should replies be restricted to substantive matters, such as specific contest discussions, posting of codes, asking for help, etc.?
Both sides have ardent followers. Only one side can rule. Which way is best? You decide! Yes... you! If you don't vote, don't be surprised or angry when your preferred option isn't chosen!
Let's see if we can get at least 100 votes, and at least a 70% majority. This isn't a scientific poll, nor a mandatory poll, nor a poll with prizes for the voters (rats!)... so the 100/70% is purely arbitrary and may be modified depending on how substantial the turn-out and how close the results are. Hopefully the turn-out will be sufficient to wrap up the poll in a week or two.
Please also post your comments. Try to sway others to your preferred option.
It's a secret ballot, one vote per person, airfare not included.
