I have a domain that I want to set pligg up on to use as a rating site.

Specifically, I would post and item and allow users to rate the product. I would not allow others to join as I would screen the items posted personally.

I know I can set up pligg to not allow users to join (I have a current pligg-based site), but can users still vote even if they are NOT logged into the site?

Ideally, the site would be used like this:

I'd post an item to be reviewed with a short description
Users could click on the up/down (plus/minus, whatever) to register a vote
Users would NOT need to be logged in to vote

I would probably build this into a larger website to encompass more space for deeper reviews - not sure, though, because IF a pligg based site could contain all the info I wanted to add (deeper description info, for instance), I'd just keep it all on the pligg site.

I'm not sure the system can manage this, however, as I've only ever used it as a news aggregator with feeds to supply content.

If you allow anonymous voting, then any visitor can vote. I don't think you can have anonymous comments however.

Your review articles themselves can be quite long, and you don't need to submit an associated URL if you set "Require a URL when submitting" to false.
