Have you thought about a third chance? Removing all Ignores?

I didn't vote because I didn't know what a wide conciliation is. Or a site wide conciliation day. Is the "day" going to last through Sunday, and are the bans going to be restored Monday?

I think the poll was fixed. As one poster Replied, if the poll generated had "bad idea" first every other poll, so roughly half the poll views had each choice first, and if you reported how many poll views there were by the cutoff time, we would know (or could calculate) how many non-votes there were (and of these, how many had bad idea first and how many had good idea (aka "great idea") first, and could interpret the meaning and significance, or lack thereof, of 219 votes. You could have refined this to only count a non-vote once per alias, and decided should you count the last view only or the first view only (subsequent views may have been to just check the vote totals).

If I had voted for one of the choices, it would have been "bad idea". I may have made a post like that, but I'm sure I didn't vote. The poll wording was biased by using "great" rather than the neutral "good". I wonder how many people saw the bias and chose not to participate?

Even the color choices you made for the bar graph are biased. Red in a financial forum is negative, black is positive.
