Sug: Poll Bump by user27089 on 05-31-2005 at 12:42 PM
Well, what I think should happen, is that, when an option on a poll is chosen, it should be bumped to the top of the list in the Poll Center, and to the top of the list in the latest posts, like all of the other forums.
I think this should be done because most of the polls are at the "back" of latest posts, and basically forgotten about forever, because even when you vote, nothing happens, so what's the point?
I really think this idea should be incorporated into the forum, purely because the polls are constantly forgotten about.

No, I don't think this idea is good. Having latest posts polluted with loads of polls every time someone votes would get annoying, lead people to hide the poll centre from latest posts, and no one would notice new polls.

How often is there a poll though, I'm only talking about polls that are in the poll centre, hardly anybody visits there, but when they do, nobody knows about it, and 9 out of 10 times, the creator of the poll forgets about it

I think we should have it for about 6 - 8 hours on the list anyways. And if u feel irritated then use the "Hide Forums" feature that Dz has introduced

IMO no. I can understand wanting it for Poll Centre in a way, but really the poll centre is for getting an idea of public opinion, particularly for the thread poster. If it's of communal interest or something you'd want to check back about to see if anyone else had voted, it deserves to be in GCC where people can accompany their oh-so-important vote with a reply.
