Clicking on NS icon opens NS page where person can copy and paste a sentence into their reply, which takes about 2 seconds. This may be doable than going on forums, finding chamber's thread, getting up to speed on whats being voted and then vote.

That's better. Though, I'm quite sure there are ways to show pictures full-screen on your monitor.

The point is, it is very possible to forge other people's statements in such a way. And I believe we should act in an as safe as possible way when it comes to voting in the Senate. This goes against that.

No, I think we just want the vote because it helps us. That is not less than honest.

This is much less easy for someone to do, however. All you have to do in order to forge a vote is make a printscreen, fire up Paint and write what down what you want the other person to say.

I have absolutely no idea how to hack someone's account, and this is therefore much less fraud-sensitive.

I wouldn't know, sorry.

Let it be known that I believe your particular case to be true, though. I just don't think this should be allowed for reasons mentioned earlier.

And it is equally easy to create thousands of puppets or hack another person's account. Does that mean we should ban voting online?

Are you seriously claiming hacking an account is "just as easy" as using MSPaint?

No, it's not equally easy to hack someone's account. Not in any way. Same with creating "thousands" of puppets, especially seeing as we caught someone creating just one of them in the Applications thread.

I meant in my case.

The only reason I used IE was because no one could accuse me of editing the HTML document.
