Poll threads that resurrect themselves

MargaretR · 19-11-2011, 09:57

Early this morning I noticed a few very ancient poll threads had self resurrected overnight, when no post had been added and votes long since closed.

Has Roy been tinkering again?

Don't think so have been discussing on Crisp Poll thread.

I thought all poll threads had a date for closing automatically

The threads I saw were from 2007/8 - hardly likely to be still open.

I dislike poll threads anyway. They show as having new posts when they haven't - a nuisance.

cashman · 19-11-2011, 10:51

makes no odds to me,if i dislike summat i ignore it simple.

they only show new posts when someone votes, even if no one has commented

Was going to make the same point Cashy.

The rules say this:

Quote:

21:All Polls put on this site must have a closing date and not left open indefinitely

Which is why I close them when I see them.
