<![CDATA[Does the forum platform support voting anonymously?]]>I am looking at how to organise the voting for the Community Favourite Awards.
The easiest is to have people vote openly on the forum (ie I post the nominees as comments and people can up vote the nominee/comment they vote for).
But this is not anonymous nor does it restrict it to one vote per person.

Does the forum platform have a 'survey' or poll function?

This kind of forum is new to me so i don't know if such a feature is available

NodeBB has a plugin for polling, it's apparently not installed (installing plugins has a maintenance cost as any plugin can break when updating the forum software, and a voting plugin is probably a bit more concerning than a simpler plugin since users could start polls that may be deemed unsuitable that the forum maintainer would have to cleanup), it does not support voting anonymously.

This kind of forum is new to me so i don't know if such a feature is available. It would make it a lot easier in this case instead of sending direct messages plus more fun to follow.

This way everyone can get an email to vote?
