I've added several entertaining surveys to go along with entries
on here over the past couple of weeks, and have gotten a great
response, however some users have questioned why they immediately
get the results for the survey without the ability to pick a choice
themselves.
This can happen for several reasons-
- The survey is no longer active. I have start and stop times on
the surveys, which allows me to age out surveys and cache the
results. I am thinking of ways to add a nice "Survey Closed" notice
on them.
- You already answered and have the "I answered" cookie on your
machine
- You picked "View Results". Reload the page and you'll get the
options again where applicable
- Someone else answered, and the system is correlating them with
you because of shared traits (such as the IP address of a
shared mega proxy). Even if you don't have the user or answer
cookies in your browser, the system may still
decide that you must have flushed your cookie cache, and that
you've actually already answered. Trying to identify people on the
net is a difficult, flawed process, so there will be mistakes.
