Change Poll Feature in "Is 2nd Law by Definition True?

  • Thread starter pivoxa15

In summary, the conversation discussed whether the poll in the thread "Is the 2nd law by definition true?" in the classical physics section should show who has voted for which option. It was mentioned that this can be specified when setting up the poll, but it may not be fair to change it afterwards since voters were initially informed that it would be anonymous. It was compared to tracing back voters in an election after the fact.

You can specify this when you set up a poll. However, after the fact, I don't think it is ok to change this (if it is technically possible, I don't know), because when people voted, they first knew that it was going to be anonymous. If afterwards you make it visible, perhaps certain posters would not have voted. This would be a bit like after an election, tracing back with fingerprints and so on, who has voted for whom...
