Hidden restrictions: Poll can't be changed after the fact

And why is that? I am wondering why this would be a problem if a vote is only counted once per person. Spamming it makes no sense in this model and the end result is drastically different than the traditional use of a twitter #hashtag.

This reminds me of what I’ve said in another thread:

I’ll explain more that this system requires the OP to have a list of these poll options. It’s just like a regular internet forum poll but now requires a user to post and explain why they voted for their choice, while including the #vote itself with it.

More clarifying:

  1. My idea, again, is like any other internet forum poll. That means options to be voted upon can’t be changed once someone votes.

  2. My idea is exactly like @mentions. A user can use them in their post as they see fit. What matters is the system registers it as a vote when a user submits it with a post. Once that is done, that means the user cannot vote again.
