Another inconsistency regarding who can post in Ivory Tower

[GazetaBitcoin]

Hello,

In addition to my previous thread about posting in Ivory Tower section (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5201467.msg53075162#msg53075162), bug which was fixed soon by theymos, I come back with a new question.

Is it normal to be able to participate in a poll held in Ivory Tower while having a rank lower than Full Member?

I'm asking after I noticed today the thread started in IT by yogg (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5202453.0), for electing the winners of the Coldkey contest. I am not able to post any reply inside the thread (as I'm not Full Member), but, however, I was able to vote in the thread's poll. Is this normal?

Thank you.

Does not look normal to me :-P
If you were able to vote then you should be able to make response as well and this is more logical in my opinion.

Being a Member, I'm also unable to reply, just vote.

Neither to me, that's why I started the thread

Didn't I mention it in your last post that member ranks can vote?

Yeah, there is an inconsistency between the local rules and thread description. Member ranks can create new topics and reply in serious discussion but not in Ivory Tower. However, in Ivory Tower, member ranks can make a vote in polls, read, watch and get notified of posts.

Regardless, I too think that it's not normal when a member rank is not allowed to make a post.

I remember now you said that, but I didn't have that in mind when I created the thread... However, doesn't seem consistent to be able to vote, but not to post. Besides, in the section's description and in theymos' thread with rules for IT isn't stated that voting is possible for ranks below Full Member.

Well, maybe theymos can take a look here and decide if the current behavior is the expected one.

Any news on this thread? Theymos or other admins...?
