Polls

Can polls be set so that no one but mods and admin can see the results until the poll closes?

That's how real world polls work, everyone votes and then the results are counted up and the winner is revealed. The current way I see polls handled in vBulletin, people can see the results even before they vote and it impacts peoples decision on whether to vote or not or what they may choose. Totally skews the results. An option to obscure results other than maybe the number of votes counted would be ideal.

With vbulletin, you can see what votes counted for what, but there is an option when making the poll to show who voted what option.

There is a 3.6 mod, Sakera's Hide Poll Results, that does the following which sounds like what you want:

What is this?

I looked around for a hack to hide poll results, but didn't find any hack that suited my needs, and let users hide results for specific polls.

This Modification lets your users hide poll results for everyone but Moderators and Administrators, and the thread owner himself. They can choose to hide the results forever, or to show them automatically when the thread is closed or hit timeout.
