It is ok for people with IT skills who can edit their cookies etc. I let mine be open because it tends to help and I know I can sort it if need be. But the non tecky peeps need help too. Someone should set up a site the maintains a list of bad cookies. Then people having spam problems can visit it once a month and let the site clean out it's bad cookies but leave the good stuff. Anyone seen such a site?
Last time we allowed Students to vote on the Net for anything in the UK they tried to use it to make money to support their drinking and baggy jumper purchases. The voting for Sports Person of the year had to be suspended because of a student conspiracy to get a 100/1 shot voted in.
The main danger would be Students would't have to leave their bedrooms to vote, thus they might actually bother and then we could be in a whole world of pain.
