that brings up an interesting point. i hadn't considered separating voting
rights and viewing rights, but that does add some additional flexibility.
an example i see is the ability to set voting privileges to priv >= 3, but
viewing privileges to priv >= 2. this way the members can request a vote
from voting members, be kept from actually voting, but see the results when
it's all said and done.
this all brings up another question: should surveys/votes have an optional
switch to specify whether or not the results can be viewed prior to the vote
closing? i think the answer is probably yes, but maybe not. maybe that's
controlled by the type of poll you create. in other words, if you create a
survey the results are available from the point you cast your opinion
whereas with a vote you can't see the results until it's closed to ensure
impartiality.
keep the ideas coming.
thanks,
