No end dates on polls cause to remove?
« on: April 14, 2020, 11:02:20 PM »
Why does the site allow users to post a poll without an end date if that is a reason for a moderator to remove it?

Shouldn't there be a requirement to include an end date before we post?  I forgot to add one and lost the poll, even though I had tried (unsuccessfully) to add one on my own.

The software won't let us force an end date. If it could we would.

The biggest fakes here are those posing as humans.

Thanks for clarifying!  I meant to add an end date and forgot.  I've messed up a couple of attempts, but hopefully three is a charm.  ;D

If you do mess up and can't change it try contacting one of the admins/mods.  We should be able to make the change and save you some grief if you notice something after the timeframe to modify a post passes.

Thank you.  That sounds great!
