[QUOTE="Seeker95, post: 1982150, member: 17186"] Today I cast my vote on the "What would you let your players buy" poll that greeted me at the front page of the News -- my first stop when I visit ENWorld each morning. After I cast my vote, I went to read the discussion. It was only then that I see the stipulations to the poll, which would have changed my vote completely. This happens often enough to comment that there may be a flaw in the manner in which polling is conducted, or in the decision to list polls on the front page. Since we do not have a mechanism for changing our votes, perhaps, rather than allowing a vote from the front page, the poll could simply be listed with a link to the forum thread. Or, perhaps the first post of a poll (from the poll starter) could be listed along with the poll. If we were taking a poll, I would also offer the option of not displaying polls on the front page, but that is an option I would not favor as a solution. [/QUOTE]
