Now that I'm thinking of Quick Polls: Maybe require voters to login during the feedback phase?

Just a thought; making logging in a PERMANENT voting requirement might be bad, but while you're guaging interest in potential new functionality it might be wise. I'm certainly sensitive to potential new members thoughts, but also wouldn't want functionality to be directed by people who happened to stumble on the home page once in a million googles. Oh, and whatever happened to email notification of NBs? Did it not work, or is it just buggy for me?
