Infinite polling for same person - Urgent help

[Venkat Chandra]

Hello All:

We were looking to leverage the product for something we are doing. One of the issues with the functinality currently is the infinite polling allowed on the same pair. Basically. the options keep coming and there is no end to it. For a user this presents as a very odd approach (irrespective of whether its mathematically or logically valid). We were looking to leverage for business users. We are wondering if anyone has tried to implement any functionality to address this issue ?  Can you please give guidance on how this can be achieved ?

Thanks so much for the help!

Thanks

Venkat

Hi Venkat,

The wiki surveys are designed to keep going.  The reasoning is explained in our paper: http://journals.plos.org/plosone/article?id=10.1371/journal.pone.0123483

We have not explicitly designed a version with a fixed ending.

All the code is open source, so you are welcome to fork it and make whatever modifications you wish: https://github.com/allourideas

Take care,

Matt

Mathew,

Regarding this -- if someone answers the same pair multiple times, does each response carry additional weight when the stack rank is calculated?

Thanks!

Howie

Hi Howie,

Each vote is counted in the same way.  There is no de-duplication of votes if someone answers the same prompt multiple times.

Take care,

Matt

Matt,

Thanks for the response! If the same pair (eg A vs B) is presented twice, but the user votes A the first time and B the second time, is the first vote discarded?

Hi Howie,

In that situation, the first vote is not discarded.
