How long does the poll stay open for people to vote and what happens if the votes tie?
The poll duration usually stays up for about a week, if I am not mistaken.
If the votes tie, an Administrator will decide if the user in question is given membership or not.
Most votes end early if the amount of 'No' votes are too high for the 'Yes' votes to pass.
Ok thanks :)Quote:

Usually thou all the votes are tilted towards one side, its usually pretty rare to have a similar percentage of yes and no (after 10 votes ).
Ok thanks. Im at 5 Yes and 5 No right now...
Its on the top of the poll box. Mind you, I don't know if that displays for all usergroups :pQuote:
This poll will close on 02-17-2012 at 03:27 PM
Member polls stay open for 2 weeks unless a staff feels like it could be closed early. ie: 23 yes - 2 no or 0 yes - 19 no. In those cases its fairly obvious what the outcome will be so it can be closed early.
Nah your 7/6 now :P
Voted Yes!
Uh, what was I going to say.
Oh right leave it mine was there for a week then all of sudden picked up and became rapidly active and after 2 weeks of sitting total I became a member.
E: Hobbit said it.
It doesnt say anything about when it would end for me. It would be a great feature if it did though.Quote:

I would suggest one month, but the admin who denies you might give you another time frame.Quote:
