At least have them get a bump on the hot page. Maybe I'm just salty that my poll posts got 60 comments or 40 votes but they were just dumped like all my other posts...

Poll votes will remain as they are to avoid abuse.

You might wanna make sure to submit them when people aren't asleep (at least in the US)

Aww but c'mon, shouldn't posts with a lot of interaction in them also count for something towards getting on the front page?

I know it's maybe asking for a big rework but can it at least get thrown in at the end of the todo list?

That's what /POP is for.

the fuck you option was a fantastic idea, it lets people express their dislike of the poll with out downvoting, so if its a shitty poll or you give shitty options people can just vote fuck you

if you want better interaction with your polls maybe stop making shitty polls

Every big shot here tries to defend Poal system as: prevent abuse. Yet, if you go into /all/new you will see trash. Infinite the trash. Users with many "different" universes.. News, Usnews, Newsjunkie, newsnow,newsohio, newsmiami... Etc etc. They are technically posting correct but abusing Poal hard. Because Poal does not allow it's user to point out bad content. "Funny" is actually SAD. It has Facebook level humor. Npc level humor. We might even see things from 10 years ago.. Like fuuuuuuuuuuu. Comics.. It's a disgrace. And we cannot downvoat that trash to hell. Because technically, it's the correct post. I've cleaned my /all/new a lot just by blocking 5-10 main users. If you go now, and scroll, you will see them.. Abusing Poal, technically correct. But you will see them simply posting 20 slightly different things in 20 slightly different categories / universes... Check out. And yet.. The mods and big shots here are afraid of user "abusing" downvote.

At least with this option by OP we could signal bad content. Not sure if it will have the same results I wanted (clean /all) but it's better than now.. Any sorting of /all now shows pure trash. Even terrible content gets to hot or top.

just fuck off then, no one forces you to be here

pretty damn sure the people complaining are paid shills who can no longer push people away from voat by simply downvote people to fuck so they cant downvote people at all, stop trying to pilput your way to victory, we are wise to your bullshit and it will not be forgotten

I didn't say anything against the fuck you option, I'm just saying I get a good amount of interaction in a post, but then it dies because only the upvotes count towards if it gets to the front page or not.

thats the point of the voting system though, 10 up votes and 10 people commenting to call you retarded is not the same thing

Yea but I would still consider it something 10 people found worthy of interacting with. Not saying to give me 10 points, but to give it some weight towards getting more visibility.

You got 40 votes? My post got 18 comments and 2 votes. I had 3 comments inside my post with more votes than my post. My post was on topic. Well. Fuck it. Maybe I'm just salted as well.

Lot of discussion, and voting on the poll, but only 4 and 6 upvotes on the post itself.

What was it all for...?
