Since I am redoing some scripts, I thought that this could be something to bring up. First and foremost, the main concern of allowing them to be edited is the possibility for them to be abused.
Now if you are only allowed 10 or so minutes to be satisfied with your poll, at the very least, this prevents abuse and allows you to fix mistakes that might appear. Now there's another possible option. The other option is to show what changes were made or only allow minor ones to be done and always allow it to be edited by OP. Even more to the point, possibly have admins revoke poll editing if abuse is found. If moderators want to catch someone abusing a poll by being allowed to edit them, they could check a log. I plan to have poll editing and other editing being logged by a user log. I would also probably have some "NEW Edit" text or whatever show up next to the poll within 30 minutes of it being edited or whatever. So there's a few options but I would like to hear from all of you. Which option do you would prefer? To be honest, I think it should always be allowed but be revoked if found abused by a log/history showing evidence of it. At the very least allow 10 minutes or so. Maybe 15. |

Posted by ScrydanAgreed, that sounds like the most reasonable option (has there ever really been a problem with this? I don't recall any such incidents, at least, on board2 etc). |

Well to my knowledge, no poll editing script has ever really been made for this board.
I think the reason for its nonexistence is probably the reason why ranks.php hasn't been implemented. (Oh and 2.6 now has it implemented.  )
It is just that people probably gotten too used to it being that way and it became a forgotten topic. Either way, I brought it up like this because I did hear from a few on other boards that they don't like the idea of editing it because of possible abuse. The way I see it, like all things, if they get abused, revoke it from who abuses it. And most people can notice when a poll or something changes anyways,
For any doubt, there's always a log to look at in our case. |

Posted by ScrydanYeah, that's a pretty stupid reason for not implementing something, because that can apply to literally everything, pretty much. "They shouldn't have invented the internet because it can be abused!!11!@6" |

♥2132 ✿4883 ★57 Polls are generally a silly feature anyway- it's not like we're using them to predict election results or something.  It seems like the worst that could happen is some guy going "LOLZ I MADE YOU VOTE FOR AN OPTION THAT YOU DIDN'T WANT TO", but since votes aren't even visible... |
