Further personal comment: I’m in my usual spot of agreeing with everybody. This mechanism of polling? Terrible, for reasons that have been elaborated at length by @acityinohio @daira @tromer @secparam and others. And I’m the one who initially suggested it! Like, wow, we designed a staked poll that still isn’t Sybil resistant? We get fakers and overly influential whales? Great, lmao.
On the other hand… @zooko and @amiller and the person who wrote “I’m not fake I have sentiments” are right. It matters for there to be a permissionless, anonymous way for people to express their preferences and be heard by the Zcash community at large, but especially stakeholders with power. If Zcash didn’t enable this kind of thing by nature, Zcash wouldn’t be the exciting protocol / project / product that we all know and love. Anonymity hell yeah 
Zooko is also right that there are always pragmatic tradeoffs. Someone can reasonably decide to bet that no one will bother to surveil their participation. Whether that is true is unknowable, and coming down on either side has an inherent tradeoff. We must all make our own decisions about risk, opportunity cost, and potential payoff.
