Ideas can be evaluated again and again and tests are only possible within Switzerland?

Ideen immer wieder bewerten können und Tests nur binnen der Schweiz möglich?

Guest

Hello,

if you vote as a guest, you can rate ideas again and again and thus manipulate ideas.

Shouldn't that be prevented?

I also just wanted to request a product test. The system didn't like my zip code. :-)

If not a bug, I assume that the tests only apply to Swiss residents?

Shouldn't this be noted in advance, perhaps even when registering?

Ciao,

Dear Ramona

Thank you for your request. It is indeed the case that guests can vote multiple times and that this can theoretically lead to a falsification of the voting result. However, we want to give as many people as possible the chance to express their opinion - even without them having to create a Migipedia profile. That's why we simply rely on the fairness of all participants.

As far as the product tests are concerned, your assumption is correct: only Migipedia members resident in Switzerland are allowed to test. There are logistical reasons for this.

It definitely makes sense to indicate this when registering. We are already pursuing this idea and will add it to the next product test.

Kind regards
Tanja, Migipedia team

Hello Tanja,

Romana please.

I understand that it should also be possible to vote without registering. I hope that you will fish out the multiple ratings of individuals, e.g. by matching IP addresses?

I wouldn't even rely on fairness in the innovation business, which is still being developed. I've seen enough negative examples. :-(((

If, for example, there are companies on platforms for hotel reviews that deliberately downgrade their competitors (or have them downgraded), this can also happen to you from time to time from competing companies.

But that is your business.

Ciao,
Romana
