Administrators: Subscribe to community poll votes
Title:
Administrators: Subscribe to community poll votes
Area:
subscriptions, polls, community administration
Summary:
Allow community administrators to subscribe to all, all administrator-created, or specific arbitrary polls within their community, just as if they had created the poll themselves.
Description:
Sometimes community administration requires staying on top of some issue or other, and sometimes that issue involves a poll. Sometimes vigorous refreshing of the poll votes page is just not efficient.
An all-poll subscription would mirror the all-comments subscription, and allow the administrator to get a more clear picture of activity in the community, albeit possibly a very high-volume one.
All administrator-created polls would likely be a little more difficult to implement, and might not catch older polls created by administrators, or polls created by people who were admins at the time but who are not now, but could be useful for situations where multiple people need to monitor the poll, but only one person can post it, or when a new administrator takes over but would like to continue using the previous admin's poll.
Specific polls would let the administrator pick and choose which polls are important to monitor. This might be easier to implement than an all-administrator-created-polls subscription, and serve many of the same important functions.
