Would it be possible to have an option to edit a poll? (please tell me if you can already do that)

I realise that even if people liked this idea it probably wouldn't be an important issue what so ever, but regardless, i would like to know what everyone thinks of this idea.

No, because that changes the validity of the poll.

If I made a poll asking "Do you like video-games?", waited for answers and then edited it to "Do you hate Canada?" the people who responded would have been tricked.

Having an edit option wouldn't work for too long.

Hmm. I guess not. Ideas always seem to crumble under the fact that such people exist.

Exactly. Anyone can just simply change the name and its options to make it invalid.

Thank you for saving me 30 seconds of my life. Thats is exactly what is wrong with that idea. Too many immature people put limits on many ideas.

I remember Bungie doing something like that.

I guess it was a bad idea. Well a good idea, but would spoilt by bad people.
