Title: Poll locked to account or IP?
Post by: Muhammed Zakir on December 09, 2014, 12:45:04 PM
I have found the polls which I voted opens after my IP changes. So why is it like that? OR does it open if the OP adds a new option? ??? Thanks! :)

Are you saying you stay logged into the same bitcointalk account, and if your IP changes you have the option to vote again?

Do you clear your cookies when you change IPs?

** Oh sorry , @Vod asked the same thing.

Maybe the problem that has caused you this thing is : the cookie, or **the second thing** are you sure that you have voted in that poll ?

Ofcourse, I voted 2 times on the same poll but then I stopped voting twice as it may be against the BT rule.

P.S. I voted twice on polls more than once.

I don't think anything of significance is decided by a BT poll.   ;)

;D Anyway, I ain't doing it again consciously. Even if it isn't against BT rule, the OPs won't like it.

I don't know whether I can. As far as I remember I voted only twice in a poll.

I haven't created many threads with polls so far, but if I recall correctly, the OP can reset the poll if he wants - could this have been the case? Were there many other votes cast the second time around (if you voted twice in a short time frame)?

I didn't know that. But I haven't seen the votes counter going to zero atleast decreasing the counter when I make another vote. ???

I don't think it was in a short time frame. If I remember correctly, then the counter only increased than it was before. :)

Yes OP can reset the poll. Change the poll question and counter start again 0.
So may be you voted on that poll again and thought you voted twice on same poll.

I voted many times of above thread because op changed the question every 3-4 days.

Maybe you're right. But when resetting, can the countrr only reset without changing question? Becaus I haven't seen the question changing when voting twice. Thanks!
