[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]How are they using feedback from these meetings? At the one tonight, most of the people in the room were talking about WSHS, which was the closest to Robinson because that was the meeting for our pyramid. But the online voting were almost exclusively about Emerald Chase. The Thru consulting guy at the meeting said this was the opportunity to allow the public to provide feedback and the best feedback would rise to the top. But doesn't this now mean that every part of this county which has an issue with these maps will need to figure out how game the system for each of these meetings and have a bunch of people on laptops trying to drive up their concerns to get Thru to pay attention? This seems so messed up. [/quote]

It sounds like one small HOA convinced everyone in the neighborhood to join the call. I looked it up, Emerald Chase is really small. 168 houses. [/quote]
No, the questions are anonymous and the voting is too.  It is a script or "bot."  Literally one person could have made all the questions and votes.  I noticed it at the first (Oakton) meeting when it was happening and looked at it briefly.  Very easy to manipulate the results (for anyone in IT at least).[/quote]

I sat there watching it in real time.

I felt like it was a bot.  The upvotes came so rapidly, faster than hundreds of people could find their posts in the roughly 300 other posts.

And the system was glitchy, so you had to tap the vote buttons a couple of times to get it to stick.[/quote]
