ufo what do you think of all the options and settings for polls and displaying results?

i’d never use ‘slow reveal’ and pie/nightingale chart don’t really make that much sense for ranked choice. all the options do clearly have problems with poll options of any real length as this demonstrates.

trying to rank 49 options with the drag & drop interface is pretty tedious unfortunately

the scoring for the ranked choice polls is dowdall count, isn’t it? it seems to be less than ideal with a large number of poll options because the scores are rounded to integers.

i think a condorcet option was mentioned but i didn’t see it anywhere? as an australian i admit i’m very curious how regular non-condorcet instant-runoff voting/ranked-choice voting would look too

for the results table, it’d be nice to have a ‘#1 votes’ column too at least

Condorcet shows up when the poll finishes.

thought on polls: why have an end date? for the ones like this where you see the results before you vote, and where you can change your vote afterward. would rather just have it be open! should change over time. like, neil fucking young. i’m gonna do this today and in 20 years i’ll do it again (and the on the beach title track is still gonna be what i have to return to)

also side note but it’s interesting about what makes people (including me!) not like time fades away nearly so much as all the adjacent material!

I like this idea. I have no idea how possible it would be to do, but giving the poll runner that option would be great.

the coolest bit about the new poll stuff is the distribution of votes graph for the ranked choice polls, that’s really neat and interesting

I love all the new poll stuff, yet I’m going to miss the slow roll-out of results and the great customized graphics that poll runners sometimes make. (of course, there’s nothing stopping that from continuing yet...)

I think year-end polls, artist discography polls and genre polls will still lend themselves to email ballot format. Poll limit is still 50 options in the new code.

Removing another post that I put in the wrong thread

I would like ILM polls to show who voted for what. Maybe an option for anonymous polls on ILE as you say could be different? I don’t know how hard that would be for Keith.

I would prefer that to be left up to the poll starter.
