lol

well..it's true, the boards moderators could be keeping track of how you vote in polls...hmmm.

any moderators care to confirm how "anonymous" a poll is?

More anonymous than using an electronic voting machine in a 'real' vote...

The anonymous ones are anonymous to mods.

Hint: Did you ever notice the way you cannot vote twice?

EDIT: As the economist says that does not mean the mods can see it.

Anybody with database access can pull up the votes if I recall vBulletin correctly

i'm on the mobile skin so cant check but will let you know later. Remember tho that when creating a poll you have options such as having the votes public etc. If you wish to test it out you can use the Test Forum under the System category and create a thread wit a poll. DONT DO IT HERE!

i don't care,

poster who know me can't see my opinion on an anoymous poll and thats all that matters

The only people that can see who has voted for what are the staff. I have Admin privileges and I can't see who voted for what, unless it's a public poll.
