It's not a vote

Arrgh. I hope I am managing to express to Their Highnesses' secretary that the fact that I do not like or approve of the automated results-tallying software they used during her reign a few years back does not mean that I dislike/disapprove of her. It's my opinion that the Crown should read each person's written responses itself, or at least give the impression of having done so, not just look at a table that says "45 for, 10 against, 25 don't know candidate" in making its decisions.

O PIN ION. And I'm not the Queen. If I ever am, then policy will be made by my opinion - and not until then.

I think I ran into this on a recent poll.

The person in question changed his/her name 5+ years ago, but some folks still don't know him/her by the new name. That might have resulted in a lack of recognition.

This is an issue that's been brought up in Atlantia. Not just with people changing their names, but with them using a shortened form of the official name or even being known by sight but not by name. One of the suggestions brought up is providing urls to pictures of a person in comments to the watch list so people can click and see who is being talked about.
