You would not know if I voted neutral, or if I hadn't returned to a profile to vote at all. Richie, I don't want to step into the argument on either side, but I believe your statement above is incorrect. If you originally vote Neutral, that vote does not appear anywhere so of course no one would know how you voted. But if you originally vote NO, the vote and your comments are there for anyone who has that title to see. If you return to the profile and change your vote from NO to YES, your YES vote is identified by your username. If you change your vote from NO to NEUTRAL, your vote is deleted from the database. So, anyone who has access to the title will know if you change a vote from either YES or NO just by virtue of your name appearing in the voting list. The only way no one can know how you vote is if you voted NEUTRAL in the first place -- since this isn't an acutal vote, but just a means to stop that title from showing up for you to vote on. | | | Another Ken (not Ken Cole)

Richie,

Hi Ken If that were the case here then you would be correct. But in these instances the contributions are withdrawn after a no vote, an error fixed, and a new contribution appears. If I then vote neutral on this or not vote at all, neither would be known to any other user rich | | |  | | | | Last edited: by hayley taylor |

rich You're right. I wasn't thinking clearly. Naturally, if the contribution is re-submitted the slate is wiped clean and no one would know whether you looked at the new profile or not. I should have thought of this before posting.  | | | Another Ken (not Ken Cole)
