[Forum] Public poll votes

The poll will have a long list of names. It is quite ok because the main target of the enhancement are clans and private groups.

But even if there are 200 votes there - it still will be readable and easy to distinguish. At least it was with 50 people or me.

Public Poll Option for the Community Polls

Currently all Polls are Private on this Site, This would just be the option added to change that so you can see who voted for what. phpBB does offer the public poll option as simple upgrade for the boards that run it.

It will be yet another community Tool and provide the ability for the community to see how some one chooses to vote when they know others will be able to see.

I made a thread did not search enough and found this thread so my thread can be deleted as I do not want to see the poll lost on this thread(the irony of a thread about polls losing the poll data lol)

MERGED: Public Polls Option

so since this is already in submitted what does that mean for importance of implementation? This change only requires a update that is already created for the phpBB system so will not require a lot of site specialized coding work.

It means that it is something the Suggestions Team has officially endorsed as a good idea for the admins to consider, but there are no guarantees of actual implementation. There's currently a rather long list of small things like this that we're waiting for the developers to implement, but we'll put this in their pipeline at some point in the near future.

Yeah, it's a good idea.

I've always wanted this for tournaments, so that, for instance, you can ask the players to vote for their favourite setting or whatever, and it's not unduly influenced by strangers popping in who aren't in the tournament.
