Are we going to allow anonymous votes in that poll though?

In all honesty, if someone's determined to reach top place on the ranker, nothing's going to stop them. They'll get their friends to create accounts and ten them...multiple zeroing will just lead to a rerun of the horusettle wars, which ultimately bores a lot of people. All we can do is put a warning that the best list is highly-coveted turf and so probably won't reflect the opinion of many poemrankers. Perhaps, if nentwined is willing to spare a little time (you can laugh at me for that if you want, nent ;-)) there could be an unchanging 'recommended' list as well, for which we could put forward maybe one poem each, and he could decide which to add to the list.

I'd still like to see a 'next 20'/'previous 20' button on the best list though, it would allow easier access to a wider range of poems. Having said that, I don't think people make enough use of the option to only see the best 20 of a certain type of poem - there are some hidden gems in there.
