Let users add more poll options while the poll is running

This is generally a bad idea:

  • adding items to a poll means they will be added late and won’t get many votes

  • this is fundamentally unfair to all voters; what if you realize you need to change your vote due to new poll options?

  • you can end up with dozens of voting options which is overwhelming

If you really need an open poll, first start a topic gathering poll option feedback as in “what options should be in our poll?”, let that run for a day or two, then gather all the suggested options (within reason, plus consolidation) into a new poll topic.
