I've saw this on another forum i used to post on. You could decided whether or not you could see who voted for what on polls. You saw each user under who they voted for, but you could disable it, and it said whether or not it was closed or open right above the poll. Well, what do you think?

Yeah I like those. Obviously for some examples it would need to be closed though.

Of course, this is true. The moderators would be able to change this a set alock on it and such if they believe it needs to be closed, but it is helpful for many types of polls.

I agree. Too bad no mods are on right now.

Edit: I take that back Odawali and max are on now.

also, you should be able to vote to remain anonymous, except by mods.

You mean choose if your name appears if you aren't the op? Nay, yah can't do that. It says it right on the poll, and the idea is so that you can tell who voted. If you don't want to appear, don't vote.

id like the option to remain anonymous, though I'd probably never use it. It'd be nice to have the option, though.

that's weird...

While it's a good idea, it defeats the purpose. The idea is to see EVERYONE who votes, and what they vote for. the option to not do that as a voter would make it meaningless. If you want to ensure votes, make it closed.

One, it requires a mod, and it'll would be all or nothing.

It's pointless. You may as well simply ask for a hand count in responses.

true. every time i answer a poll, I'll say who/what I voted for. Most users will.
