Simple polls
A simple poll can be created with:
/inorout
Do you like DPS?
Yes
No
Only 540
Each answer must be written on its own line. Questions and answers can even use emojis, if you like! 😉
Multiple selections
You can configure /inorout to allow responders to select more than one option! This
needs the /inorout multiple flag.
Suppose we want to know what day of the weekend people are free to see a movie. Someone
might be free both Friday and Saturday. Rather than create combinations of all 3 options
we instead can allow for people to select multiple choices using the multiple option.
That would look like
/inorout multiple
When should we go to Snowman's?
1800
1830
1900
Take note of how we put any options on the same line as the command followed by the question on the next line.
Anonymous polls
You can also configure /inorout to allow responders to select more than one option!
This needs the /inorout anon flag.
There are some cases where we may want to allow for someone to vote without revealing
their identity. That can be accomplished with the anon option and looks like
/inorout anon
The best LT was
923
982
992
Again, like with multiple, we put the option anon on the same line as the command.
Combining options
If you want to use multiple options, just put them on the same line separated by a space
(i.e. /inorout multiple anon). This would create an anonymous poll where multiple
answers are allowed. Order doesn't matter. The current list of options are
multiple, anon, help
If you have a request for a new option, reach out in #dev!
Changing published polls
Once you publish a poll, the author has the following options:
- 🔒 lock poll - prevents any changes to votes.
- move to bottom - removes the poll from its current location and sends it to the bottom of the channel
- delete poll - removes the question, answer choices, and responses, leaving a message saying that a deleted poll was once there.
Additionally, users can choose to remove their vote until the poll has been locked or deleted.
