Ability to add polls to threads
-
Quite a lot of forums allow the thread starter to add a poll with the thread. I don't think that's the case here. But being a forum about voting methods, you'd think that this would be the forum most likely to have that feature!
Anyway, if it's possible to do, it would be nice to have a few different poll types available. For example:
The ability to select whether people can change their vote.
The ability to set an end time, or not.
The ability to decide whether the current result is visible until the end time if there is one. It makes no sense to keep it invisible if there's no end time, because it would always be invisible.
The ability to decide whether votes are anonymous.
The ability to select different voting methods for the poll.

@toby-pereira I imagine that this forums users would not be happy with a tool that only allowed Plurality!
My hope is that the code the Equal Vote Software Dev team is working on will be able to be used for that. Right now the beta version is almost done and it currently supports Plurality, Approval, STAR, RCV, Ranked Robin, and STAR-PR. We're working on visual design and word-smithing now.
