New Polling Feature Feedback

[legolus]

I love the new Polling feature.

That said, current things I would like to see added or adjusted.

1. Ranked Choice and Multiple Choice Voting
2. An increased character limit in the voting option length. 255 characters Isn't nearly enough to put the full option's text in there all the time and honestly it would look better in stories if we don't have to write out the full text for each option then list the options in the poll again.
3. It would be nice to have the option to set the results to show only to chapter owner. As for both Harem Hotel and Bimbo or Billionaire as examples typically you have readers vote and then narratively reveal the results in in a following chapter. Currently. Once a poll closes any new readers are simply going to see the results of the poll immediately.

Thanks for the feedback! I went through these and made changes for all three points:

- Added Multiple Choice polls.
- Added Ranked Choice polls, including runoff-round results.
- Increased the poll option text limit so longer options are supported.
- Added a results visibility setting so poll results can be visible only to the chapter author and story staff, which should help when authors want to reveal the outcome narratively in a later chapter.
- Added some help text around poll setup so the different poll types and visibility options are clearer.

These changes are now live.
