Forum: This Is A Test Poll

This is a test poll that demonstrates the usage.

This new post type called Poll is listed among the post types on the New Post page. A Poll is a special post type with the following restrictions:

  • only the poll author may add answers to the poll, these will serve as choices that other users may upvote to indicate their preference
  • the only content that users other than the author may add to a poll are comments attached directly to the top level post
  • votes on a poll do not contribute to the reputation

I tried to add a new answer and it (correctly) denied it. That worked.

I can uprate both options. Is that intended?

Yes I have been thinking about that - it could be made mutually exclusive with some extra work but then polls with multiple options would not work.

Downrate should be disabled? Also, poll must have a deadline?

I would guess the deadline depends on when the user that starts the poll chooses to act on the results of the poll.
