I think this is a patently specious argument in that we all know any MUD that spams players with vote reminders every few seconds and places vote reminders in room descriptions would not be a MUD that survives for long or could possibly retain any new players. My point was simply that it makes sense not to remind players to vote if they have already voted. I disagree with your opinion that this dramatically "skews" results, but I respect your opinion even if I don't agree with it.

Assuming this isn't an "outlawed" practice, would allowing a player to configure a vote reminder to not remind him or her if he has already voted be acceptible? In other words, it would be player controlled and not admin controlled, yet part of the MUD system. This seems like a practical compromise to me if anyone is interested in compromise positions.
