Editable comments, anonymous votes don't count
lornajane
We don't often post to this mailing list but I have just launched* two
big changes to the site that I thought you would like to know about.
Firstly, while users can still comment anonymously, the ratings
associated with these comments will no longer count towards the
overall rating of a talk. We think this strikes the balance between
people wanting to anonymously give negative feedback, and those people
leaving a lot of anonymous comments to bring down the rating of a talk
deliberately.
The other change is that for a few minutes after making a comment, a
logged-in user can now edit their remarks and rating. We've had a lot
of requests for this one and we hope you enjoy the new feature.
That's all from me, get in touch if you have any comments, suggestions
or questions about joind.in!

* I didn't actually *build* any of these features, I just get to press
the launch button! Many thanks to the contributors who made this
happen :)
