As many know we have this year's Best Registrar for 2020 poll running. For the first time it's public voting, so you can click on a number and see who voted for who.

Many believe that employees votes should not count when it comes to determining a winner. Others have said it makes it useless. One person messaged me everthing on Namepros is now useless because of Epik and their many employees here.

I see it as a complex problem, I think someone like a @DanSanchez would have voted for Epik whether he was working with Epik or not. Is his vote voided because he was here and then joined Epik?

Believe it or not, whether members like it or not, winning best Registrar here has mattered to registrars.

So should we not count the votes of noted employees, meaning I can go through the finished vote tally and look at the members who voted for each, if I see Dan Sanchez for Epik I deduct it, if I see Joe Styler for GoDaddy, deduct it.

Or should all votes count and that is the legitimate winner? We have time to vote on this as the registrar vote does not conclude til the end of March.

It will be an option, which means that pollsters will decide whether they want to enable it.

If you disagree with how someone has created a poll, then you can refuse to participate in the poll and/or create your own poll with the options that you think are best.

We hope that helps.

That would have to be an added option as just a member starting a thread in general discussion you don't have that option or I would have because I believe it can be used to pollute the waters. I still believe Epik would have won.

If you're talking about the big poll we just had, not they wouldn't have still won. Simple subtraction. They wouldn't have won the best landing page poll either. Will there be a Dynadot interview or Dynadot blog post on them winning Most Safest?

The comment was not regarding the employees voting, it was about comments being allowed in the initial thread, if you read Nick said he did not want to see any comments and I said if I had the choice I would have done that, the mods said they are working on that option. My comment was related to if there were no comments not employee votes.

Sure I will gladly do an interview with Todd.
