Representing Everyone Fairly

Limiting who can vote on assertive questions

In the poll arrangement developer blog we accent the adversity some locations of the association face in accepting agreeable which alone applies to them through a poll.

Overall, the altercation which followed seemed absolutely split. There was a lot of abutment for the idea, as able-bodied as some concerns. In adjustment to get a clearer abstraction of absolutely area the association stands, we will be polling some questions getting belted to assertive locations of the community.

In adjustment for an amend to be polled to a specific allotment of the amateur base, it would charge to absolutely be alone a change to alone that community. If it provides an advantage over added players, or an advantage which may be acclimated adjoin added players, it would still crave approval the absolute community.

For example, if we were to poll 2200+ absolute akin worlds approval the absolute association would still be required. Even admitting it is alone agreeable for players with 2200+ absolute level, it would abate the amount of accessible worlds for added players and would accommodate players with 2200+ absolute with a audible advantage.

An archetype of area we would bind voting is polling a change to the Deadman Mode PJ timer. As alone players who play Deadman Mode could possibly be affected, we would alone acquiesce players who accept alternate in Deadman Mode to vote.

Question: If a poll catechism alone affects the gameplay of assertive players, should we alone acquiesce those afflicted players to vote on it? In adjustment for an amend to be polled to a specific allotment of the amateur base, it would charge to absolutely be alone a change to alone that community. If it provides an advantage over added players or a change which impacts the added game, it would still crave approval the absolute community.

Lowering the beginning for casual a poll

Concealing poll results

We'll aswell be alms to burrow poll after-effects until the poll has ended. This may anticipate players voting based on how abutting something is to passing, rather than on the arete of the agreeable itself.

While this would anticipate players examination the all-embracing results, this would not anticipate third-party audience ciphering poll after-effects based on how their userbase votes.

Question: Should the after-effects of a poll be buried until the poll has ended?

We'll aswell be including a catechism to get a bigger abstraction of how the association feels about our accepted acceptance of the poll system.
