I think it'd be useful if we could change our votes in polls. That way if someone changes their mind or accidently votes for the wrong thing, they can change it.

Crap! I meant to choose yes!

Just kidding. A poll is a poll, and I don't think it matters if one person makes a mistake.

Lol, I don't care.
I'll just randomize!
The raffle says:
"Today's lucky colour is cyan.
Yes."
Fortune cookie says: "Yes."
No options then.

No, I'd like to able to change my vote occasionally but that would skew the polls. People would abuse it.
Say for instance theres a poll on best fighting manga and you like two of them. You vote your favourite and then see the result and your second choice has a better chance of winning so you change votes.
Thats the reason you can't see the results till you vote so your vote isn't influenced.

I dont really like the idea, it would screw up the system and the fact is, you picked it, its over

You can do that without voting. There is a result button beside vote. Click it sometime.

What's the point in making a poll in the first place if you're never going to get a result?

Day 1: 15 yes, 5 no. (People must like "yes" more!)
Day 2: 5 yes, 20 no. (Oh, people changed their minds, so "no" is the real result)
Day 3: 20 yes, 15 no. (Ok, what the hell...)
Day 4: 0 yes, 40 no. (Seriously, are people just screwing with the votes? )

didn't i make a thread about polls before....?

i dunno
it could be heavily abused tho.

My stand on this is "no", but we'll see what Manick says eventually (whenever he reads this)

I believe that a potential solution may be to allow for a limited-time vote change. For example, lets say you do misclick. Chances are good that you'd want to fix the vote within the next two minutes. A limit on how much time you have to vote would allow you to correct your error while preventing late-poll vote skewing. I don't know if this is feasible when factoring in the technology behind the surveys, but I imagine it wouldn't add to much server stress to temporarily store the information from the last two minutes of polling. Alternatively, if that WOULD cause server issues, the server could keep a limited x*2 array of information, storing the last x users' data in the first column and their votes in the second, then allowing any users still in the array to change their vote. As each new vote comes in, the oldest information is adjusted so that the user corresponding with that oldest data can no longer vote, and their data is overridden by the new vote (and its corresponding data).

No,
So vote wisely
