Polls idea

Could it be possible to have polls that tell who voted a certain way?

Like i would vote it would ad my vote and it would show my name with others who have voted along with me.

I like that idea. :) Of course, you should have the option to disable this, for private polls.

I don't think we need this exactly, but a list of people who voted in a poll could be useful in some situations. I don't think we need to associate individual members with a poll choice, though. (Except, of course, the inevitable first voter and only choice, but only if someone sees it before the second vote. :P )

Well depending on the settings in a board, one could disable people seeing the current results of the vote. I run a board for a region in NationStates (a political simulation), and our senators aren't able to use board polls because the people need to see what legislation they have voted for or against. And certain World Assembly polls people like to with-draw their vote, and we cannot tell what they voted for, ans which option we need to take a vote from.

I might make a request, for a board code for a function like this.

Although it may provide use at times, I personally would dislike the idea of it being made public what I voted for on a poll. Surely if someone wants to say, they could just post it? That way if someone wants their vote private, it stays that way. If a poll here and there need the votes known, ask for votes by post or PM?

You don't have to vote, so it wouldn't adversely affect you unless you wanted it to.

It would be nice for at least admins and maybe moderators to see who has voted for each option.
