So I've noticed that to even see the results on a poll you need to vote on it yourself. Which I find is kind of difficult without skewing your results a bit. And if you make a button for only you to click you darn well know someone else is going to click that one too.

So basically, either don't require creators to vote on their own polls or make a button that only the creator of a poll has access to. I'd really appreciate it.

EDIT: I might add that it's a little counter productive if you're poll is to help make up your mind on something. Like I can't decide a name for a new character so I want my friends and strangers to help me decide.

I personally don't see a need for it. You could just vote on your favorite poll answer, whether it's your own or not. Though I'll see what others think of for this.

Make sure to train my bird!

I noticed the same thing and I just think it's really weird...why do you have to vote on your own poll to see the results? I voted my favorite answer on one of mine and I also thought about the owner only option but was thinking the same thing, you tell someone not to choose something, they're gonna choose it :P

I think a simple option would be fine for this.

Would do just fine in my opinion, still makes it so you can vote on a poll like it has been with polls here, but now you can immediately see the results without having to vote on your own polls at all.

I would of suggested just viewing your profile in incognito mode, or anyone's profile for that matter. That does let you see all poll results without having to vote on them with being logged in.

Thought I'd contribute a little something, however.

I can't agree any more with this. I would really like this feature, it can help quite a lot. Voting on your own poll throws off the results and you have to recalculate them yourself.

I did not start a poll myself yet, but I would find it rather strange to vote on my own poll. I think it should not be possible to vote at a poll you are the owner of.
