I propose that we can consider an option to move to a poll system.

If not, I don't believe this is a better solution. We occasionally have an issue with vote threads staying open a little too long after the vote has officially closed, allowing people to cast invalid votes. These are much easier to catch when we're voting how we have been. I don't really see anything wrong with how we've been voting for a long time now Edited by Lamb, Jul 3 2017, 08:42 PM.

You can't. As such, I agree with Lamb. The logistics are too hard if we were to move to a poll system.

True, but that still goes back to timely moderation which isn't always possible. When extra votes are cast now, we can easily catch it when the moderation isn't as prompt as it needs to be. If there were to be a lapse in it with a poll, I don't think we'd really be able to know or at least detect it easily to correctly tally the vote. It just seems like potentially more hassle and controversy than it's worth to me.
