GrandMasterDash said: All I'm saying is, while it's true that multiple MNs would be able to vote in the poll, it's far more contained / limited to abuse than a forum where anyone (unlimited) can signup And being it's MNOs that vote on proposals in the end, we might say a MN only poll might well produce a more accurate result.

A poll where anyone can apply whatever filter he desires, cannot be abused. The vote filtering is an anti-abuse method. Imagine you create a poll asking something, and someone subscribes 1000 forum accounts and vote on it. No big deal, you just apply the filter and you can see the result of the poll by taking into account only the masternodes votes.But when you have a MNO only poll, you are losing information. Another guy may want to apply a reverse filter, in order to see how many fake accounts voted in this poll. This is also usefull information, it shows that the poll you created led to piss off some people. And another guy may want to apply a different filter, asking only the votes of the masternodes who own more than 100 masternodes to appear. Or maybe he wants to see what is the opinion of the miners, in this issue. How can this information be extracted, if you have isolated your poll and you allow only the masternode owners/operators to vote on it?If you isolate the polls and allow only a specific type of community members to vote (being the masternodes owners, or the miners, or the masternode owners that have more than 100, or the dash account holders, or those who can prove their individuality, or those who cannot e.t.c), then this will create clans and castes, and will cause a schism among community member types.
