IMDb Feature Suggestion: Multiple-Choice Polls
Hey there folks,
So recently, I've been thinking about a few poll ideas, which would work great if they had a multiple-choice option.
I think most of you already know what a "multiple-choice" is. For those of you who don't know, Multiple-Choice allows respondents (voters) to select multiple answers, choices, etc., from a poll. People can vote for more than one (but not all) options.
Something like:
- Minimum numbers of options they can vote = 1 (obviously)
- Maximum numbers of options they can vote = (depending on the total number of choices) like if the poll had five choices, you could only vote for 2-3. (something like that)
OR
The poll author can set the number of options people can select to vote. (with limits of course)
It's just a feature suggestion, not a feature request. I thought it'd nice to discuss it with you guys first, before requesting it for real.
Please post your thoughts about this below.
Thank you.

There were/are many polls I wish I could vote for more than one option.
Especially when a poll asks me which is my favorite movie or video game. I want to vote for more but can't. And Later, I feel bad for those movies/video games, lol. :(
I'll vote for this feature to get approved by IMDb ASAP.

It could work I think, but only in very special cases.
In a normal poll, it would screw results if one user votes for one option and another votes for 3. In order to avoid giving an user more votes than other, the vote should be split as in "You can vote for 3 if you can't decide, but your vote would be equally divided among all options"
Otherwise, it would only work if each user was made to cast the same number of votes, with questions like choose your 3 favorite films by Hitchcock or something like that.

"If the poll has five choices, you can only vote for 2-3 options."
Well, if a poll has only five or fewer options, it'd make it a face-off poll. Even though if it's not stated.
So, multiple-choice answers in a face-off make no sense, and that's why I'd like to take back my suggestion.
Sorry, I was just excited when creating this thread. ^_^
