Can we have a show of hands for those who DON'T want this thing to go ahead?

COMMENT FROM ADMINISTRATOR
There have been a suspiciously large number of sign ups for users in Singleton coming from a single computer (IP address).
This does happen from time to time when the computer is in a school or library or where a family is involved. However, in this instance we have 29 signups from a single address mostly well outside business hours and all exhibit virtually identical voting patterns (against the development).
If there is an explanation for this other than it being a somewhat clumsy attempt to undermine the consultative process we would like to hear it. In the absence of an explanation we will simply include details of the activity from these users in our report to Council so that they can take this activity into account in their analysis of the consultation. We have already notified Council of this activity.
For online consultation to function properly and allow the community to participate at their convenience there has to be an open sign up process. We believe that transparency is the key to making these processes work and will always inform the community if we believe that attempts are being made to subvert the process.

Dear Administrator,
Will you also report to the council on the percentage of submissions that come from residents outside of the singleton council area, so that this result is not diluted by comments from bleeding heart greenies in the way the BAT issue forum was?

Johnf, I've no idea what the BAT issue is or was but yes the site does generate a report that includes locations of respondents (though we don't link this to individual comments to ensure that the identity of users is not revealed).
