Why can’t we just fix this in the UI? Poll integrity, blah blah blah. It’s usually just a typo, and leaving it there kills me, but it is better than wiping the votes. … I shouldn’t have to make that choice.
And why not change it later if an admin wants to? Sometimes the polls are just fun, and preserving the “integrity” is definitely not the top priority. The fact that the whole thing blows up even if you allow later editing makes that setting useless. We should be able to have a setting where we allow editing without losing votes… if that is how we want to run our site.
