Pre-Proposal System is Useless

Do not take a poll on a forum where there are zero prerequisites to signing up and voting, to be representative of the masternode stakeholders.

The purpose of a pre-proposal is to gather feedback. Feedback from people who have been with Dash for a longer time, or who have a masternode badge, or who have a lot of posts, or have already worked for Dash, or especially core team members, should be weighed accordingly as a better indicator of where the wind is blowing. Of course everyone can contribute value to the conversation, but with respect to having a barometer for masternode sentiment, looking at only the results of the forum poll is just about the worst way to go about it.
 
Yes, it will all be fine until the government raids the forum servers to find out how many masternodes everybody owns and what are their e-mails and IPs.

The government could already do that to dashcentral.

Idk how many people would go along with it though, it's one thing to prove that you have a masternode, it's another thing to intentionally release for public view how many masternodes you have. Some whales like otoh are more transparent about it and might be willing to do it, idk it would be interesting to see

And that's one reason not to use it (or to take precautions when using it) if you thing they would be interested in you.

To be fair, the system can be designed to count your votes without revealing how many MNs you have.
