Close poll on dpoll

[cckole]

Components

Dpoll is a dapp on the blockchain that allows steemians to ask questions and get feedback from others through a voting technique. Dpoll is a very cool project. You ask questions on the platform and expect feedback from other users. You make comparison and seek others opinion by posting and waiting for them to vote. Many steemians use dpoll as a platform for decision making. I've seen many users who follow the outcome of their poll to make their final decision. Dpoll has many features like create poll, promoted, trending, new, and so on.  My proposals will be based on the method of poll.

Proposals

Every poll created on dpoll is open to everyone to see which is online with open source and decentralization. When a poll is created, and people react by voting and dropping their comments, the poll is displayed on the dpoll platform while every comment is seen on the steem blockchain. I will call that process an open poll. I remember my days at School as a politician when we use to argue within the cabinet. What always settle the rant is a vote. I discovered that many of us are not still sincere with our votes because of the open ballot system we operate most times. Most are always free to express themselves in a closed system. Since the poll already have an open poll, I as a result of this propose a *close poll system.

Close poll

Just like the example I gave above, many are not always sincere when it comes to deciding on crucial matters for one reason or another. For instance, if I'm to vote between my friend and another person to take on a critical task that would affect a community depending on their effectiveness. There's no doubt that I will vote for my friend, but in a case where I know that he won't be productive, it becomes difficult for me to vote against him in an open poll. To some extent, open poll kills sincere decision making. That is one limitation of an open poll. If you value a relationship, you will try to keep it in all ways. If the poll is a secret system, I will be able to vote my choice gallantly for the benefit of the public.

How can the proposed idea be implemented?

There are four main features listed on the dpoll front page which are the primary tools used by the users. They are;

• Create .poll

• Promoted

• Trending

• News

The create poll feature is used to write and submit the polls created by users. This same feature will be used to create closed polls too. After creating a poll, the existing button which is the submit button and a newly proposed button (closed poll) will determine whether the poll will be a close or an open one. Already the submit button is by the left side. The close poll button will be by the right. A click on "submit" after creating a poll will make it open while clicking on *close poll" will create a close poll that won't display participants comment on the blockchain. The poll will show on dpoll the usual way, and all votes will reflect openly, but every comment are saved on dpoll where only the Dpoll creator sees every comment.

How will the poll creator view all comments?

On dpoll, every user can view their created poll via the profile. The closed poll created can also be viewed through the same channel, but there will be a tweak to the processes. When the user clicks on the profile, there is going to be two options. The first will be an open poll, while the second will be a close poll. The open poll will display the regular polls created( comments viewed on steemit and other blogging dapps) while the close poll will be used to access every content of the closed poll including participants comments.

The two options when clicked differently will display the below images. The first for open poll while the other for close poll

The below images is for both polls. The open poll comments can be viewed on steemit while the close poll comments can be viewed on dpoll.

Benefits

As I've mentioned in my proposals, it will give everyone the free will to make some decisions based on how they truly feel about it. Human beings are different. What some people don't care about is what some people value to the core(Relationship). Instead of voting wrongly because of familiarity, a closed poll will cover up for anyone caught in this web and people will be able to ask any question with full expectation that they will get a sincere vote on their poll.
