Multiple votes allowed for same person for same options

[bazooka720]

I just tested this app which i think is very useful. I created 2 ideas as seed and started the wiki survey. The problem was that it was allowing me to keep voting on the same pair many times although they were basically the same 2 options that were available. Can we prevent the same pair from coming up again and again (which leads to completely erroneous result). The point is that while each permutation, there should be only one vote per person. Please advise

Any help folks with this? It seems very odd that the options keep coming up making a single person vote for same combination multiple times...please advise

The wiki surveys are designed to work with a large number of items (say 50). Therefore, seeing the same pair over and over is unlikely. Also, we don't think that a small amount of duplication is a waste because it allows us to assess the consistency of user responses.

There is a new pull request for a new algorithm that tries to minimize showing each person the same pair more than once: #60 We are still testing it.
