I find that often with polls, the system allows me to vote multiple times. I will vote once, then leave the poll and come back to it a few days later. When I come back, I ususally find that I once again have the option to vote in the polls.

I just think that I should post this problem, I would email it to bnetbugs, but my email isn't working at this time so I will post it here.

It is not a bug, when you vote your computer store the record of that (I think in the cache). When you empty the cache (which the computer does after a set time) you can therefore vote again. It probably will only be fixable by an un-emptying cache (which won't happen), or the website recording you IP to prevent you from voting again - I don't know much about internet scripting, but I get the feeling that would take up alot of space.

When you vote in a poll it records it in the Bungie.net cookie. When that cookie is deleted it no longer remembers you.

It is the soldier, not the reporter, who has given us freedom of the press. It is the soldier, not the poet, who has given us freedom of speech. It is the soldier, not the campus organizer, who has given us the freedom to demonstrate. It is the soldier, not the lawyer, who has given us the right to a fair trial. And it is the soldier who salutes the flag, who serves the flag, whose coffin is draped in the flag that allows the protester to burn the flag.Father Dennis Edward O'Brien, USMC

I noticed it too, I just thought I was loosing my mind, but every few days I can vote in the poll again, I don't clear my cookies or cache, but I use Firefox, I don't know if that has anything to do with it though.

Or you can just go to another computer. Example home and one at work.

Bottom Line don't trust polls to be that accurate.
