Just invite users like me a gathering on + off line, to creatively problem solve the revenue model and innovate income streams. There are infinite ways to do it, you don't need to compromise the beauty of the user experience.

Perhaps - if they were STRICTLY OPT-IN... but the chances of that happening, let alone staying that way are nanoscopic!

I like this idea - providing you could hide the advert if you chose.

People simply don't like adds, so I'd strongly advise against this.

Corking ideas .. this could be a huge revenue generator for the project too and may eliminate the need for licence fees in the longer term.

Do you mean topics relevant to a campus or area (or any subject, for that matter)?

I'm generally in favour of this though we need to see how that would really benefit the community. It might be quicker, then again no registration somehow also means no commitment, and I believe VocalEyes is, at least a little bit, about some level of commitment to the group in question. Maybe another idea could be to make registration easier...

I agree... I think it could be done allowing three kinds of groups: a private group (already exists), a public group (already exists), and a "super public" group (the one that needs to be created where anyone can vote and comment without an account)... I really like the idea of decision making on VocalEyes, but sometimes it's hard to engage a large group of people and convince them to create a new account...

This is a feature I want right now!
A bunch of friends (30+ people) are trying to decide on a venue for an event we're co-creating. We love VocalEyes for the commenting and sliding scale stars (amongst other lovely features) but HAVING to create an account is a painful roadblock that writes off this platform as an option.

I would pay for VocalEyes if it had this feature.

I'm for it, but only once voting is closed, until then we should make sure the view is not clogged with all sorts of buttons. It should also only be available as an option for admins.

I think 3 little grey dots (very recognisable 'extra options' icon) isn't going to busy the interface too much, considering it's a really important feature. Perhaps it could be even more elegantly integrated but either way I think it's important to implement. And actually, I'd say it's a priority above other ideas I've rated 5/5! So I wish I could use it already :)

The effect of it? Potentially the voting results show just a little up/ down grey triangle (darker grey = more votes; eg:
• upward triangle, dark grey: lots of people have voted HIGH PRIORITY
• upward triangle, lighter grey: few people have voted HIGH PRIORITY
• no triangle: normal
• downward triangle, light grey: few people have voted LOW PRIORITY
• downward triangle, darker grey: lots of people have voted LOW PRIORITY

don't see this as a priority
