I think you should be able to edit polls (Edit the title and add questions, not edit the ones that are already there)

Want this?

As someone who occasionally has typos in poll options I would prefer to be able to edit everything, but with a way for others to see the changes.

See this thread for other poll-related potential enhancements (none of which will ever be implemented).

  1. First apearence:

Die to all homos?

  • Yes - 10-30%
  • No - 70-90%
  1. Edit:
    Die to all homos?
    • No - 10-30%
    • Yes - 70-90%

If there's "a way for others to see the changes", as I suggested, then they won't be able to get away with it.

And still, there could be a situation, where 50% of voters would vote in standard questionnaire, and another 50% in the edited one.

It's enough for one to find it and call out the OP on it...

Bump. I don't know why i keep bumping suggestion threads. But stable system is better then constantly changing one imo.

I disagree. You could retroactively turn all of steamgifts into sadistic puppy eaters. It's too much power to not be abused.

I'd say you should be able to edit polls but when you do, the current votes are all removed. That way you don't have to deal with people changing the answer your voted for or the question being asked.

Ex:

  1. Do you like turtles?
    • yes (80%)
    • no (20%)

After change

  1. Are hate crimes a good prank?
    • yes (0%)
    • no (0%)

As opposed to

  1. Are hate crimes a good prank?
    • yes (80%)
    • no(20%)

I know it's old but it would be good to be able to change poll options as long as noone has voted already. This way you could fix some stupid typos if the topic is still closed.

I think it's better to reuse a topic instead of making the same ones over and over again :) I just provided a solution to the cons mentioned above. 🤷‍♀️
