Over at the Fairphone Forum we have long learned that polls are not very representative and can in no means be used as democratic tools (example) so we really don’t get why we can’t add options to polls that already have votes.
We already restarted this poll to allow multiple selections but a bit later we realized that the option “transparent” should be added. Sure we could close and restart the poll again, loosing all existing votes, but it’s a bit annoying.
A great use for that would be a wishlist. People should be able to vote on existing suggestions and submit new suggestions whenever they come up with them.
I get that this maybe shouldn’t be enabled by default with forums that have hundreds of moderators. But at the Fairphone Forum we are just 3 moderators that pretty much run the forum. Meaning if only admins were granted this right that wouldn’t help us much.
