kinda misspelled an option in a poll. is there a way to change it myself?
 
I don't believe so but you can always report it and I'm sure a mod would be happy to fix it for you. I've edited what I think you're talking about so you should be all good now.

thank you so much, murray :)
 
Yo Murray, do you think you guys could work on something which allows us to edit our own polls? That, and delete posts. Yeah that's something which is gonna refine our posting experience massively.

Yes post deletes are needed 0-0

Sorry to say but deleting your own posts will probably never be a thing. There's just way too many downsides for the benefit of deleting the odd duped post or the such. Editing polls (by this I assume you mean stuff like the title or name of options) has the problem that if people have already voted for certain options, you would be able to essentially change what they have voted - once again not really worth it for fixing the odd typo.

I'm all up for refining your posting experience but these are just my immediate thoughts.

Fair enough, that makes sense. Now that I think about it, people could use the delete posts feature to get rid of evidence in transactions and stuff when they intend on doing anything undesirable. Actually you know what I wanted to say was edit/remove our own vote from a poll, not edit the poll itself. See, sometimes you end up just voting for something you do not intend to, or you just end up changing your opinion or whatever.

Ah I see what you mean. I'll remember to put it forwards but if I had to take a guess it'd probably be too much of a hassle to implement. I mean it might be possible, but don't get your hopes up :p

Lol yeah, I guess it'd be too much trouble for what it's worth, things are just fine like they are right now but again like I said, it'd refine our posting experience. Thanks for the input though, yo, hopefully you guys end up working on it :p
