An user added the parameter _public=false_ to a poll. It seems to cause strange behaviour where the poll looks like a public poll but really isn’t. When you click to show voters, you won’t see who voted. It will just load forever. Here is an example:
_Poll ([view on site](https://meta.discourse.org/t/the-parameter-public-false-confuses-poll-interface/101838/1))_
Obviously bottom low priority, but I suppose it is worth reporting.
