lets me pick the other options when my vote is already cast. by design?
🕹️ skyjake [OP...] · 2023-05-15 at 03:36:
Yeah, changing your vote is allowed, in case you misclicked or changed your mind.
🕹️ skyjake [OP...] · 2023-05-15 at 04:32:
Maybe there should be a time limit on the changing to preserve some integrity in the result. Or I guess once the number of votes is high enough changing a couple won't affect the results.

I think if polls can end at a certain time that should at least be optional. Personally, I like polls the way they are right now.

I would like to have a possibility to see the results without voting.
🕹️ skyjake [OP...] · 2023-05-15 at 20:25:
@emilis That is now possible by disabling your client cert when viewing the page.
Of course, there would be nicer ways to do it... However, I do want to encourage poll participation. That is why new polls have their own notification type that gets sent to all users when a new poll is posted.
🕹️ skyjake [OP...] · 2023-05-16 at 10:14:
Good points @michaelnordmeyer. I will probably add a configurable duration value for the poll after which voting will close.
🐐 satch · 2023-05-16 at 13:06:
haha
i agree that there are real advantages to having set end times for any kind of formal poll
If polls are required to have a time out duration, I think that there should be a very long option available.
