theres a poll in the crapper that when you click on the number in the poll...you see who voted....ive never seen that before and it doesnt happen in the battle section???

yes...it has happened in the battle section too...i've seen it there the odd time...that may discourage voters who wish to remain anonymous...but if and when it's NOT there...it may encourage "drive-by" or "sniper-type" votes that pad one opponents tally unfairly...ever seen a battle where zero comments are posted yet the voting shows 19-0 votes cast for one opponent when the "losing" combatant displays a more obvious skill and talent...???...

When creating a poll you have the option to let who voted be seen by the public, this has never been the case in the battle forum for obvious reasons. jimmi, can you point out (link) where you've seen this because there is a bug if that's the case.

here's one that does NOT show who voted when you click on "view poll results" (although it's a poll as opposed to a battle)...it could be because it is an older poll and the option to show the voter names was not in place at that time...

newer polls DO show the names of voters as seen here...

i'll keep searching for a battle that DOES show the voter names...no such luck yet...it could have been a glitch...

Yeah I don't think you'll find one in the battles but let me know if you do, otherwise it's up to the creator of the poll to set those options.
