General question as in regards to POLL threads...

popps

Often we get POLL threads on Stratics on various issues about the game.

I was wondering, what if the polling was organized so that one could change one's own vote for a more accurate outcome ?

I mean, I find myself at times first voting, and then, after voting, reading the various arguments in favour or against. Occasionally, after reading confronting argumentations, one might realize how that first thought which led to voting in a given way, was mistaken, and that reading the various argumentations in favour or against, one would have instead preferred to vote differently.

So, I ask myself, would it be possible to have Polls organized so that the Stratics user could withdraw one's own vote and, therefore, be eligible again for voting in a different way if they changed up their mind after reading the various arguments in favour or against ?

This would lead to a poll, hopefully, and of course depending on the polling sample, a little more accurate in its results....

Anyway, just an idea.

I suggest you put this idea forward to the designers of vbulletin, since this is inherent to how the software works rather than anything in Stratics setup.

Thats why I tend to wait a couple of days before voting on poles so I can read the arguments !

Sometimes the person starting the poll is vague or does not ask the question properly which leads to people voting one way only later to realize what the original poster was actually trying to ask.

I would suggest anyone starting a poll to take the time to read over it a few times and make sure they are clear about what they are asking and have appropriate answers to vote on.
