Yep was a mistake by me ... it was likely going to win anyway (assumption) so i guess we'll now find out the second most voted. haha
@borislavzlatanov do we have any ability to edit a poll... maybe a time frame for obvious mistake fixes. Not editing it way later after lots have voted. Just curious.
That's fine, We can now see if there's a way to edit polls within a reasonable time frame :) I voted for my second most used.
Thanks for all the work you guys are doing to both desktop extension and mobile dApp. Use both all the time. I don't know what else I would to to notifications at the moment. I guess I'll have to think about it and get back to you if I come up with something.
Allowing the ability to edit the poll would unfortunately introduce indeterminacy. Right now we have clear determinacy - the very first posting of the poll is what every API and every frontend shows and it is what is considered when calculating the results (including applying the poll's filters). Now, if we allow editing within a given timeframe, it creates the possibility that someone can vote and then the poll changes after the vote. It also creates the possibility that different APIs and different frontends might show different poll choices or settings, because one API was behind for some reason and it showed an old version, or the frontend had cached a previous version, or a user had opened the poll post and while reading it the poll changed. So it creates ambiguity about what might have happened at all those points and how to interpret the results.
As a simple workaround, the poll could be scrapped and re-done if it was flawed, or even better, let the poll run while acknowledging its flaws and then make a second more comprehensive poll that incorporates lessons learned from the first one.
(Btw, as a funny aside, sometimes people make "mistakes" that turn out to be the right thing to do. And sometimes we correct ourselves too fast. Not saying that's the case always, of course, just sometimes.)
Yeah I like many different social medias some allow eternal editing and some have a time frame that an edit can be acceptable and sometime that time frame is very short. So something like 1 minute or 5 minutes is on the table. I wouldn't even see a huge issue with 10 minutes But perhaps five is much better. People are allowed to change their vote if in the rare likelihood they voted within the five minutes.
