Is this true? There's no shortage of Condorcet methods (even rank-only
ones), which could risk cluttering your interface in some way if someone
decided to code a bunch of them. Are the new methods enabled as an
option by the poll creator, or do you reserve the right to veto new
methods, or how does this work?

I looked at the link but it doesn't seem that this is an emphasized
feature of the site.

Thanks.
