    Hello, I saw a message on the Lounge section and wanted to share it here to draw attention to that opinion. Isn't it a good idea to hide vote counters until related surveys expire? (only for "Best Article" surveys)

      No, I think it's fair to show results.

        Of course it is. Please do not misunderstand me... I thought number of votes can influence users' choice. And also we can guess winners before surveys expired. This is not exciting :|. But ok, you didn't like that idea. I have nothing to say :~

          I definitely think that this should be done. Otherwise the results will never be fair.

            There's no reason to impress someone else using vote, closed voting system used in elections held in many countries. Of course, there's a reason. Because in order to prevent it. :cool:

              Dear Huseyin, Can you explain how votes can be manipulated when the results are displayed after you submitted your own vote ;) ? Cheers - MB

                Please check the sender of that message. It is not me. I haven't claimed that. Please read this message: http://www.codeproject.com/Messages/4397370/Re-About-Best-Article-Surveys.aspx[^] Sometimes I give vote to the most voted article. I think this is what most users do.

                  Only if they are sheep. It isn't a popularity contest. Take the time to actually read the articles first. Don't bother voting if you haven't read them.

                    Ok, you won :) But nobody can read all of them. In fact I always evaluate the work not the article. If the work is good, the article is not important for me. Anyway, thank you for sharing your opinion...
