Feature Request: Polls with Borda Count, and possibly more available options

[legolus]

So I love the new polling, but there are some polls I would like to use with the Borda Count method of ranked choice instead of the instant runoff that has been implemented. Specifically, popularity polls, since a character that is rarely first but often a second or third choice would realistically be more popular than someone who has a small but die-hard group of fans and is disliked by everyone else.

On another note, and if this is due to issues on the back end as a limitation, I totally understand and feel free to ignore this, but it would be nice if we could have more than ten options on a poll again for when we want to ask for character popularity polls.

Thanks for all your efforts, Friedman.

Thanks for the suggestions! Both changes are now live.

You can now choose Borda count when creating a ranked-choice poll. Options earn points based on their ranking, so support beyond first-place votes contributes to the result.

I’ve also increased the limit from 10 to 25 options for all polls, which should give you more room for character popularity polls.

Thanks for the feedback!
