I thought about that as well and I see some merits to that because I believe some people will react instead of having their own opinion. However, an opinion could be to follow the crowd.Glorfindel7 wrote:I have an interesting idea, why don't you lock the post part of the thread, and only allow the poll during the voting (This way someone else can not directly affect the outcome of the voting, similar to what they do in primaries and other votes?) Then you can open the posts after the outcome is known so people can comment on it and even "gripe" about the results?
Just a thought....
I wouldn't mind seeing the thread locked until the voting was complete.

I've been having a very hard time with some of these votes. But instead of reading the posts before I vote, I listen to the two songs I have to vote for. Not that I don't know the songs, but listening to them one after the other, I judge the feeling I get with each one. Even though I love almost all of JB's songs, I've realized some move me more than others -- and I don't just mean the dancing in the aisles!!!BadHabitsAcctnt wrote:I thought about that as well and I see some merits to that because I believe some people will react instead of having their own opinion.

Hmmmm.. have never heard of this happening. As far as I know, the only way it'll do that is that you click on "View Results" or you had to have voted.Nothin_But_A_Breeze wrote:How come when I click on the link, it always shows me the results before I even cast a vote? I'm getting kind of bummed that it won't let me vote

Not sure if this is what is happening, but sometimes if you are not signed in, it looks like you have voted. After you sign in you can vote.SMLCHNG wrote:Hmmmm.. have never heard of this happening.
