First you complained about the old-poll (in the discussion thread):
Which is perfectly fine and you are correct about everything above. You may read my response to you in that thread here. The only part I disagree with is that FB should be the only ones creating polls. Mistakes were made yes, but I think it may be understandable considering what I said in that other thread to you.
Alongside something someone else said in that thread, I decided I gave the wrong impression with my initial poll, even though it aligned with my intentions at the time. So here is the poll revised in the way it should have originally been presented. My apologies for that trash first poll.
Which brings me to:
If you want to complain to be heard, that's fine and I hear you. I'm trying to be helpful so I created a solution to a few similar complaints that were accompanied by suggestions for poll revision.

Why does there need to be multiple polls for the same topic? Why does this topic need to stretch across multiple threads?
Why are you using an external, exploitable and editable platform- when you have a biased response to the poll you've created?
Edit: I see now, I was that disinterested in the poll that I didn't even read it- I notice now that you provided completely biased options and were begging the question.
A follow-up poll should not be conducted on an external medium, as mentioned above.
Create a new poll on this website, then.
He said something truthful that you didn't agree with, suck it up buttercup and don't be a jerk to other users.

The forum poll is just as exploitable, if you can create multiple emails you can create multiple forum accounts. I have it setup to limit one response.
Beyond that, it relies on the same trust factor that the forum poll inherently uses. I could have set the option to record email addresses, but that informs the person that they are being recorded. This would negate the attempt to make it non-exploitable, as the exploiters can easily adapt to make themselves blend in more.
Someone might say that the forum poll is better because it shows the name and ties it to a profile with more information than an email address. To which I would argue that the forums are brand new, the game isn't out yet, and players interested for any reason may create a profile and the first thing they do is vote in a poll. Which provides no "other" data when referring to their profile to help determine if they are using it for distorting results.
However being able to view the data collected as charts and with finer details via google sheet (automatic input), this external form allows for more depth when analyzing results. For Instance if we see 10 results in a five minute period of time that has all the same answers, it may support the analysts' reasoning to conclude that 9/10 of those results are from the same person-- That is not my concern, FB can analyze however they wish, if at all; I'm merely collecting the information.
In addition, read this and that.

I think this could reasonably be solved by having only one poll and one topic so correct the mistake and make the new poll & topic in the right thread? Also preferably an in-forum poll rather than something external?
Could you calm down with the harsh sentences and perhaps write something more constructive rather? I believe it would be generally appreciated
EDIT: Don't have to comment onto other members behaviours in the same way either and instead try constructive feedback,
Not to nearly the same effect.
There are plenty of online resources (even on sites like GitHub) for automated google account creation via free proxies. At least if people attempted to create lots of new accounts here for the sole purpose of a Poll- you can easily detect that. Mainly due to the fact that they'd be participating in a poll regarding a forum they have not even engaged with.

I can't edit the original poll from the discussion thread. So I made a new one. In regard to my reasoning behind using an external poll please click here.
note: I edited my response to you above with more details.
Check out this comment by [H] MeisterKeen as a public example of why your following statement:
"At least if people attempted to create lots of new accounts here for the sole purpose of a Poll- you can easily detect that."
is illogical. Privately, I have friends who have had all their typical variations of their names taken.
NOTE: sorry for the different font, I didn't take the time to figure out the default font, to correct an error.

Closing this thread as it has derailed rather quickly and there is already plenty of discussion on the topic.
