It sounds like using a 3rd party website is a popular idea and will reduce workload for @porkbuttsntaters666@sub.wetshaving.social, but there are some concerns about spoofing votes.

As ridiculous as fake votes for soap sounds, I wouldn’t put it past some loser from another instances seeing a voting thread and clicking on it.

Instead of requiring some sort of sign-in, here’s my proposition:

1. We create another community especially for BVWSC Voting. The community will be set to “local only” so users from other instances can not see it.
2. The announcement posts will still be made in c/wetshaving, but with a link to c/bvwsc so the voting link will be hidden from other users.
3. We can require usernames for voting and nobody needs to create any new accounts (including whoever makes the poll).
4. If @djundjila@sub.wetshaving.social decides to vote under my name, I will publicly shame him and remove him as moderator!
