Michael, voting is not enabled until you reach the next member rank (30ish posts if I understand correctly). I have already asked the admin to remove this limit temporarily so we can gauge the opinions of a wider user base, not just people who actively post on this forum.
To prove my point on how it doesn't make sense to limit voting in this way - Michael here is
an expert with several years of experience in typography and Unicode. He's been one of the most active and helpful members of the Financial Standards Working Group formed by BTCF to come up with recommendations regarding standardisation of bitcoin. And he is not able to vote in this poll here because he didn't complain 30+ times about how low the price of bitcoin is.
Again, @theymos, please help us get this poll right and remove the limit so that Newbies can vote as well. Thank you.
