don't require membership completed
It reduces the likelihood that people will vote for someone else's suggestion when sent here from an external site.
We may have figured this one out. Support for anonymous users is in the queue. Our plan is to let anonymous users participate by suggesting and voting, but to then expire anonymous accounts (with their votes) after a period of time so that they don't overwhelm the stable voice of the registered users.

-1 to edgerunner's ip address suggestion; where I work we have almost 600 employees on about 400 pcs, all of which appear to the outside world as a single ip. UserSuggest's probably not widely used here, but if it were this would be very limiting, and I'm sure we're not the only place where that's the case.
+1 to both of the other suggestions, though (OpenID and Application ID Token)

i kind of like edgerunner's limited-votes-per-ip idea. that might have some potential.
think i saw an openid suggestion out there somewhere ... maybe y'all might want to bump that one up ... ;-)

openid is a great suggestion - I second the notion.

another idea is to have sites that already have a membership system pass a member id token when linking to usersuggest. That way the registered user of a site like slimtimer won't have to login again

Maybe you can have limited votes (2?) per IP address and more for registered users

So we really want to limit the influence any one person can have, which means we need to know who the person is. Ideas?
