    Are you/they planning to add them together against the “stay open” option again too?

    No. Why would I do that? Since contest mode allows voting for multiple options, that would result in some people getting two votes.

    See here for why the two protest options were combined.

      Because it happened last time when the poll didn’t go as you wanted. I’m sure you understand many having skepticism about this.

        You don’t know how I wanted the poll to go. It absolutely wasn’t clear how it would go at the time of the edit; about 150 votes had been cast at the time compared to an eventual 2200.

          You should ignore the children. Their reddit addiction is getting to them and no matter how you explain it, they will just keep having tunnel vision.

          I don’t think there is any difference between Restricted and Private. Both are achieving the same thing for the current purpose (zero activity), so adding those 2 up makes sense. If no one can see that, then it’s best to not waste time in trying to explain it to them.
