+ | ====== Polls ====== | ||
+ | Polls are part of the [[http://www.cheapies.nz/forum|discussion forums]], where the OP of a discussion topic can create. They can be used to ask other members of ChoiceCheapies for opinions, by providing a list of possible options where other members can vote on. | ||
+ | |||
+ | A typical use of polls is //"help me to choose between <option A>, <option B> and <option C>"// kind of question, where a poll of 3 options can be created. Other members can then vote on one of the 3 options. | ||
+ | |||
+ | ==== Who can create polls? ==== | ||
+ | |||
+ | Currently, any user that can create forum discussion topics can create polls. That means users in penalty boxes won't be able to create polls (except polls in the Talk with a Moderator forum). | ||
+ | |||
+ | ==== How to create polls? ==== | ||
+ | |||
+ | Use the following instructions to create polls. | ||
+ | |||
+ | - In Discussion Forum page, click on **Post New Topic**. | ||
+ | - After entering in subject and body of the new discussion topic, open up the **Poll Settings** fieldset. There are two fields to fill up to create a poll. | ||
+ | * **Poll Options**: A multiline text-area. Put each poll option on its own line. Some Markdown syntax can be used. | ||
+ | * **Expiry**: When the poll will expire. | ||
+ | - **Submit** and your poll options will be displayed. | ||
+ | |||
+ | Do note that once a poll has been submitted, **it cannot be changed**. In order to change the poll (having mistakes, adding/removing an option, etc), please use the Report button to contact the moderators. | ||
+ | |||
+ | ==== Who can vote on polls? ==== | ||
+ | |||
+ | Currently all users except those in penalty box can vote on polls, provided that | ||
+ | |||
+ | * The poll hasn't expired. | ||
