User: Mister Poll

Sorry, I forgot to answer one of your questions. When an older poll is approved, it will show up at the top of the "New Polls" list. Those polls are ordered by their review dates, not when they were created.

You're right -- the review process is moving slowly. Because of that, we're hesitant to take additional time to develop a notification system right now. We're kind of saving up the new features until we're caught up.

========== In Reply To ========== I still have a number of polls that have never reappeared since the review process was set up, and it sounds like that process is just moving slowly. I tried updating polls to see if it would help, but from a previous message I gather that isn't helping as much as I had expected. Anyway, this leads me to two questions: When an old poll is finally reapproved, does it show up at the top of the "New Polls" list, or in the place on the list where it would fall chronologically in order of creation? And has the notification system ever been set up to let you know whether your poll has been rejected or not?

Yes, admittedly, we have been running a bit behind on reviewing polls. With the holidays coming up, our already small reviewing staff has been less available as of late. As sort of a compromise, we've been putting the priority on reviewing new polls over modified polls. That has helped some, but we still have some catch up to do.

Bear with us. We'll get there.

You're right. There are a lot of sexual and otherwise adult-oriented polls. However, if we are to earn any ad revenue, we can't put them in the public directory.

We are considering a separate "Adult Mister Poll" site that would grant access to all of those adult polls. There would likely be a minimal subscription fee in order to get an account. If this happens, it would probably be during the first quarter of 2002.

Thoughts anybody? Does that sound like something that would interest you?

========== In Reply To ========== I am sure people have made them or are interested in responding to sexual poles like $%!@ion ect...are these removed? or what? lol

Thanks.

Our spamming mechanism lets you vote up to five times from one computer, trying to strike a balance between preventing spam and allowing for shared computer access. However, in this case, I suspect the poll creator simply edited his poll and manually set the number of votes for Chrysler to 44 million. Pollsters do have access to change the number of votes each answer has received if they wish. It kind of defeats the purpose of conducting a poll, but hey, to each his own.

========== In Reply To ========== In your "Pollster FAQ" section you state that voters cannot spam polls, but in the "nicest car" poll (not mine) someone has voted for chrysler 44 million times. How the hell would anyone do that?.
