# MGA 2026 Changes * * * One of the largest things I have been working on since the end of MGA 24 was how to make it 100% Anonymous, I successfully made the Voting private but its a challenge for the Nominations, my original plan for this year was to make a website and to move voting and nominations over to it, but the mods did not like it being off platform and shot it down, I attempted to reassure them with the restrictions but they didn’t budge, so I came up with a compromise So I attempted a compromise of an Encryption, you would vote it on the website like usual but when you submit it would give you a line of gibberish that can be translated into the nomination by only me and the mods, you would then post it on the forums allowing for nominations to remain anonymous while the mods can still moderate, unfortunately the mods also rejected that idea and I am now at a loss of ideas for how to make this private I’m open to suggestions ![b88f9dbe99e5418ae90cc5e9b07721bdfdec9211_2_690x99 (1)](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex020/uploads/makecode/original/3X/4/4/4472ff8e86234cb48f28c9b2dec2d2046a72404a.jpeg) ---

It has come up in dozens of threads and people trying to dm us to change it (so it’s understandable that you wouldn’t have full context), and other people involved know that, but the main thing is this: ![image](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex020/uploads/makecode/original/3X/b/8/b89567aaf3afab4b8569254584c5faba2ecc8c46.png) Forms (such as voting forms) are not allowed, and have not been allowed for a good while now, because they _very_ often include information like that, and we do have the time or capacity to go through all these sorts of things in detail. Additionally, websites like that can be changed at any time – so even if we approved a post when a page or form was good, it could be changed behind our back at any time (_this has happened_ and resulted in users being suspended) ---
